Robert Menendez actually said...

"I do not think there is a Democrat or Republican who does not believe that we have to degrade or defeat ISIL."

"This is the most critical vote that any Member of the Congress will take, which is basically a vote on war and peace and life and death."

"We must learn from the tragic foreign policy mistakes of the past. We cannot afford to make them again."

"What it did not do, and what I think Democrats are not willing to do, is to give this or any other President an open-ended authorization for war, a blank check."
