Robert Byrd: “We have kept the Republic. Thank God.”

Never, in my view, had America been led by such a dangerous head of state.

Let us clearly understand one thing. The Constitution's Framers never intended for the Senate to function like the House of Representatives.

If Congress cannot pass a budget, then we should not be paid.

I have said that, as long as the Senate retains the power to amend and the power of unlimited debate, the liberties of the people will remain secure.
