Thank you. In 2014, when I had my own health care, I had a bad relapse. For the first time I was paying for my own treatment. I had health insurance through my employer that was really good, but even with that, for 1 month of residential…

There is no Rule 19 to silence me from talking about Jeff Sessions anymore. So let me say loudly and clearly, this is just the beginning.

If Jeff Sessions turns a blind eye while Donald Trump violates the Constitution or breaks the law, he'll hear from all of us.

If Jeff Sessions makes even the tiniest attempt to bring his racism, sexism and bigotry into the Justice Department, he'll hear from all of us.

And you better believe every senator who voted to put Jeff Sessions radical hatred into the Justice Department will hear from all of us too.

So quoting Senator Kennedy, calling then-Nominee Sessions a disgrace, is a violation of Senate rules? It was certainly not in 1986. The PRESIDING OFFICER. In the opinion of the Chair, it is, and the Senator is warned.

Is it the contention of the Chair, under the rules of the Senate, I am not allowed to accurately describe public views of Senator Sessions, public positions of Senator Sessions, quote public statements of Senator Sessions? The PRESIDING…

I am asking what this rule means in this context. So can I continue with Coretta Scott King's letter? The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator may continue.

I think that may have been Senator Kennedy who said that in the record, although I would be glad to repeat it in my own words. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The rule applies to imputing conduct or motive, through any form or voice, to a sitting…

So let me understand. Can I ask a question, in the opinion of the Chair? I want to understand what this rule means. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator will state her inquiry.

Thank you. I will pick up, then, with Mrs. King's letter to the Judiciary Committee when the Judiciary Committee was considering, not then-Senator Sessions, Nominee Sessions for a position on the Federal bench. She makes the point…

I appeal the ruling of the Chair, and I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll and the following Senators entered the Chamber and answered to…

I am surprised that the words of Coretta Scott King are not suitable for debate in the United States Senate. I ask leave of the Senate to continue my remarks. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Mr. McCONNELL. I object. The…

I don't think I quite understand. I am reading a letter from Coretta Scott King to the Judiciary Committee from 1986 that was admitted into the Record. I am simply reading what she wrote about what the nomination of Jeff Sessions to be a…

I rise to express my strong opposition to the nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions to serve as Attorney General of the United States. I ask: Where are the Senators who will say no to the nomination of Senator Jeff Sessions as Attorney…

I rise today to call on my colleagues to reject the nomination of Betsy DeVos as the next Secretary of Education. It is difficult to imagine a worse choice to head the Department of Education. Betsy DeVos doesn't believe in public schools…

for the first time in more than a decade, the Republican Party controls the House, the Senate, and the White House. This week they are starting to roll out their legislative agenda. So now that they have complete control of the agenda…

we are in the second week of the Trump Presidency, and it is pretty clear that something is happening in our country. All across the Nation, Americans in quiet towns and boisterous cities are taking to the streets to fight for American…

This is an emergency. And I sincerely hope that the politicians who are creating this emergency will come to their senses before millions of Americans are hurt.

I rise today to express my strong opposition to President Trump's nomination of Rex Tillerson to be the next Secretary of State. There are many, many reasons to oppose this nomination, and my colleague from Washington has just listed…

President Trump and the Republicans have said they are going to repeal the Affordable Care Act within weeks, but so far, President Trump has not produced any plan for helping millions of Americans who will lose their coverage the day the…

President Trump is creating chaos, and sabotage, and his own special baked up emergency here.

on Friday night, President Donald Trump issued an Executive order that strikes at the very heart of our democracy. I wish I were exaggerating. I wish this were some sort of game. But the ban that imposes religious tests and keeps refugees…

Thank you, Mr. President. I will continue with the story that was published this morning in the Boston Globe. This is from a veteran who was writing of his own experiences. He says: Trump's executive order, which seeks to ``keep radical…

Have you called to overturn President Trump's offensive and unconstitutional order? Have you asked Republicans to introduce a bill --
