Political Quotes

“I say to my friend, the Republican leader, we have no intention of stalling, not taking care of district court judges. But let us take a look at them. I don't know if there is some--I don't know. They are reported out of the committee, they are on the floor, there should be no problems with them, and we will do our best to look at them. But I say to my friend, these things I want to get done tonight--this is a Cabinet officer. We have a man, Jim Glassman, Under Secretary of State, who--the President's Chief of Staff says he is going to withdraw his name. He is tired of waiting. He has to get a job someplace. I want to get these done. As I say, there are some 80 of them or more. We will work on these. I tell you I would even give my friend, the Republican leader--Senator Leahy and I will work on these three district court judges. I read the names. We will try to do them in the next week or so. OK?”
