Political Quotes

“many of my colleagues on the left here do not like this President or his policies. But their feelings about him or what he stands for are irrelevant this evening, for impeachment has standards, for as Richard Davis, who testified before the committee so eloquently said, cases cannot be brought simply to make a point, to express a sense of moral outrage. Kat Sunstate from the University of Chicago said so eloquently, impeachment is reserved for a narrow category of cases, for this case does not rise to that standard. I intend to vote against impeachment because as sinful and as stupid as the President's conduct was, it is not impeachable. But I will not get that chance. I will not get the chance to vote for censure because my colleagues over here do not believe we ought to have that chance. Finally, Mr. Speaker, my prayers go to Mr. Livingston and his family as they seek to heal and rebuild. I say to my friends in all of this Congress, when is this going to end? When is this going to end? God help this Congress. When will we find our dignity, our vision, and our wisdom? Give us a vote on censure. Give America the vote they want on censure. This is not impeachable. It is stupid. It is sinful. It deserves censure.”
