Political Quotes

“Madam President, first of all, I would like to thank my colleague from Hawaii for her remarks just now and for her commitment to a more equal, more just United States of America. I rise tonight to join my colleagues in mourning the loss of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Justice Ginsburg was a brilliant jurist and a persistent patriot. Her belief in our country and her vision and imagination as a lawyer left our Nation stronger and more just. As a litigator, she fought and she won fights for women's equality. And on the Court, she was a powerful voice for justice, whether in the majority or in dissent. Throughout her career and through the final days of her life, she was a powerful voice calling for every American to be recognized equally and to be treated with dignity, regardless of gender or personal circumstances, and the progress and inclusion that she helped build throughout her life is a testament to both her tenacity and her unmatched legal mind. It is also an illustration of what is possible in our country when we reaffirm and stay true to our values. Justice Ginsburg's vision of what it means to be an American and what it means to be free changed lives. She helped move our country toward a more perfect union, and we have to continue her unfinished work. Like many of my colleagues, I stopped by the Supreme Court over the weekend.…”
