On the recordFebruary 28, 2019
Madam President, when it comes to considering Presidential nominees, I have said in the past that I don't believe in playing by two sets of rules. If the Democrats insist on rejecting President Trump's Cabinet nominees for petty policy disagreements or insist on rejecting qualified judges based on an ideological litmus test, they can't expect kid-glove treatment for the next Democratic President. However, I urge Senators to end this arms race now. We can start the disarmament by agreeing to the Blunt-Lankford proposal based on the bipartisan agreement that was worked out with then-Majority Leader Reid in the 113th Congress. I yield the floor.
