Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I thank the Senator from New Hampshire, my neighbor in the Chamber. I thank her for her fine remarks. I was listening when she talked about Senator Graham's comments. I truly believe that was a moment of leadership, where basically he said he had spent a lot of time in the last 2 years trying to elect a different person for President, but President Obama won and he respected his nominee and that his job was to look to see if that person was qualified to be on the Supreme Court. Despite political differences--and he didn't agree with everything she said--he said his job was to see if she was qualified. He said at the hearing, which I will never forget, that he was proud to be supporting her. I imagine the Senator from New Hampshire has had similar experiences in her State with having to grapple with those kinds of things when appointing judges.”
