Political Quotes

“I am the one who entered the objection, and let me say to my good friend from Vermont that I agree with him 100 percent that we should get back to what made the Senate great. We have rules around here, and the rules are very clear that you don't impugn another Senator. Now, you can't do that in your words and you can't do it with writings. You can't hold up a writing that impugns another Senator and say: Well, this is what somebody else said. I am not saying it, but that is OK. It is not OK. It is a violation of the rules, and we should get back to what made this Senate great, and that is, to stay within the rules, stay within civility, and not impugning another Senator, whether it is through words or whether it is through writings. I yield the floor. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Florida.”
