Political Quotes

“Reserving the right to object, before I give my reasons for objecting, I want to comment on a couple of things in your remarks. Before you spoke, you spoke about the times that we often agree. Just today, you and I--I won't go into the subject matter. But just today, you and I cosponsored a bill together, as an example. The other thing I would like to say, before I go to my remarks, is that I want to associate myself with your quote from our colleague Senator Cornyn that you don't impeach judges just because of a decision, because we would be impeaching judges all the time.

I happen to agree with some Democrats, in previous years, that said some judges have gone way beyond what a judge should do on national injunctions, and I hope to find a solution for that. I would hope that you and I maybe could work on that together because I know Democrats have made that same accusation about district court judges in 1 district out of 93 in the United States applying their decision nationally. So now, I would like to go to my reason for objecting. A few weeks ago, I objected to a version of this resolution because I considered that something that both Democrats and Republicans do too much around here is nothing but a political messaging exercise. Today, I come here for the same reason.…”
