"Others were quiet. They went quietly to the floor of the Senate, cast the right vote. But there is a difference between leadership and legislating."

"It's a capitulation. Every member of Congress should -- every member of Congress should stand their ground on this issue and do everything in their power to block this bill."

"Would it have been better if I had done well and didn't care?"
