Amy Klobuchar

What was the debt going in that the President inherited from President Bush?

I think it is incredibly important.

I believe we then continued with unemployment losses under the Bush Administration.

This bill took on the difficult task of bringing down health care costs.

The jump start of the stimulus, but then the belief in the private sector economy and working with small businesses.

I would like it to go quicker, like everyone else.

The CBO score of this bill is saving $138 billion over 10 years.

When people are hurting in a household, if in their household no one has a job, it is 100 percent unemployment.

I was concerned about the decision just because, again, of the practicality of how all this would work for prosecutors.

The greatest relevance for a nominee is a demonstrated history of good judgment and prudence in life as in legal work.

I just hope you will take to heart one of the comments written about Justice O'Connor when she retired.

If confirmed, I hope and trust that you will adhere to the best institutional traditions of the Supreme Court.

It's not the critic who counts. The credit belongs to the one who is actually in the arena.

Thank you especially for your service and everything you've done for our country.

There were no women on the Judiciary Committee.

That would be correct. There were no women on the Supreme Court.

You would have had to be, like, rifling through the drawers, looking at paystubs or asking your fellow employees how much they were making.

No women were in the U.S. Senate.

That's what we heard at an Innovation Forum.

I think we need a competitiveness agenda, an innovation agenda.

The American people think we are falling behind. They're right.

We have done this in the past when we had other problems.

I would add to education issues also that the H-1B visa issue needs to be changed.

I truly believe kids that grow up in the rural part of our country should be able to stay there, and a lot of the key to that is Internet access.
