"I am not suggesting and do not mean to imply that a plaintiff in a discrimination case needs some kind of smoking gun in order to prevail."

"The legislation I have introduced--S. 1756, Protecting Older Workers Against Discrimination Act--would reverse the court's deeply-flawed decision and restore the law to what it was for decades."

"The ADEA simply states that it shall be unlawful to discriminate because of age. We get it. This Supreme Court apparently does not."

"What disturbs me lately, however, is the rhetoric that attaches itself to such efforts."
