Political Quotes

“what I hope we can do tomorrow, as we did today--I know people feel strongly about this sexual assault issue--is people will come and talk about that. It is so important. We were able to do that today on this amendment we had, and by the time 5 o'clock came, there had been a full discussion of the amendment. No one was crying for more time. So I hope in the morning people who feel strongly about this issue will come and talk about it. We did have some people who came and talked about this issue and that was important. So there are very strong feelings about this amendment. It is a difficult issue. It is sexual assault in the military. It wasn't long ago we wouldn't even be discussing such a thing on the Senate floor. We have to now, because it is an issue the military has, and we are trying to work through this. People have different views on how to proceed, but everyone agrees it needs to change. It is a question of how we change it, and that is what this debate is all about. So I hope Senators will come in the morning and start talking about this issue; tee it up for a vote sometime tomorrow afternoon. ____________________”
