On June 6, 2002, the Senate passed by a vote of 71 to 22 a supplemental money bill that contained $8.3 billion for homeland security. . . . On June 17, the president's senior advisor recommended a veto of that bill because it contained ``excessive'' homeland security spending. Does the Senator recall writing that?

Get rid of the filibuster, is nothing that as Brock Obama said, at John Lewis` funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of the slave owners. You got to get rid of it. It’s very, very bad.
I didn’t have success because of my good looks, or because I was a genius. I had success because I worked harder than anybody else.
