Robert Menendez actually said...

"I am going to support your nomination. I am going to hold you to what I expect to see in robust enforcement."

"I think this nomination hearing is one of the most important this Committee will hold."

"If we are to have any meaning to never again being something of import, then we must do more than just simply stand by the sidelines."

"I hope you will come, after you're the Interior Secretary, with me to the Statue of Liberty, help me break the shackles on the crown."
