Political Quotes

On the recordDecember 9, 2010
Mr. President, as I said this morning when the Senate came into session, the House passed, late last night, the DREAM Act. I have asked consent from my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to vitiate the cloture vote, and that was not granted this morning, which I think is unfortunate because it is a waste of the Senate's time because we need to act on a piece of legislation that is already passed, so that when we pass it, it would go directly to the President. We have been told by my Republican colleagues that they are not willing to do any legislative business, which I think is untoward and unnecessary and unfair. But that is where they are. So that being the case, Mr. President, I would again renew my request that we vitiate the vote on cloture that is pending before the Senate at this stage. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Mr. McCAIN. I object. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection has been heard.

Mr. President, I would like to say just a few words about Gwen Ifill. It really was too bad that she died at age 61. She was a woman who broke barriers. Every step of her life was something new and inspirational for those around her. I…
