this place fancies itself the world's greatest deliberative body, but we would be deceiving ourselves if we ignored the biggest debate that has been happening in America over the last 36 hours. A publicly elected official--Governor of one…

I rise today to offer a very basic resolution. I want Senators to unanimously reaffirm our oath of office to a Constitution that explicitly rejects religious bigotry. It is useful to regularly remind ourselves that Americans are First…

I thank the Members of this body for reaffirming basic constitutional 101 stuff today. I will report back to Brian Buescher, the nominee for the Federal Bench for the District of Nebraska, that he can ignore those questions he received…

I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without…

I am going to speak again shortly from the floor, but, very briefly, I want to associate myself with the comments of my senior Senator, Deb Fischer from Nebraska, who just spoke and welcomed Nebraska's pro-life students to the Capitol over…

I thank the Senator from Mississippi for yielding to me. Mr. President, I rise to highlight the work of some truly impressive Nebraska high school students. In September, to celebrate Constitution Day, my office offered a challenge to high…

I rise to say in public today what I have been discussing with many individual Nebraskans over the last 17 days about the ``me too.'' movement, the important ``me too.'' movement, about a nation that is accelerating our descent into…

Our future will only be brighter if we follow the path of smart economic policy.

I think Dr. Ford is a victim, and I think she has been through hell, and I am very sympathetic to her.

We need a First Amendment because it is required for individual liberty, and we need it structurally because society, and particularly a republic, needs that discourse.

I actually got to see it before it was out because Senator Harris gave me a copy, and my kids and I watched it before it was public.

One of the most frightening numbers is that Americans under 35, 41 percent of them tell pollsters they think the First Amendment is dangerous.

I think what is happening on campuses right now is really dangerous.

The rights... belong to people because of the nature of humans, and humans are created in the image of God and they have dignity.

I thought that was a great line of questioning.

Presidents should not have the power to do whatever they want.

Executive immunity has no place in a democracy.

how many times we see our Founders writing about the norms of our civics.

Training for a marathon, completing two marathons like this, is a huge accomplishment.

The comments from the White House yesterday about trying to politicize the Department of Justice, they were wrong, and they should be condemned.

A lot of the other records that have been discussed are mainly duplicative, administrative documents.
