Political Quotes

“before we proceed to the next vote, I want to acknowledge that this is a historic vote for us in Michigan because our senior Senator Carl Levin will be casting his 10,000th vote. We are so proud of him in Michigan. He stands for all that we believe in and serves with dignity and is respected by everyone here. I want to mention he is the 25th Senator in the history of our Senate to cast 10,000 votes. I went back to research his very first vote. I thought this was an example of a historic moment. He cast his first vote on February 22, 1979. It was in favor of a Byrd motion to table a Stevens amendment to S. Res. 61 which was a postcloture rules change resolution. It was very profound, and he has been profound ever since. Congratulations to Senator Levin. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The majority leader is recognized.”
