Political Quotes

“The reason I wish to stand at this time is to spread across the Record in this Congress and for the American public and future generations, something that is unique that we just heard. I am an attorney. I went to law school, practiced law, had dozens of jury trials. I have a son that is an attorney, and I have another son going to law school at Stanford University. I did not have--and I am sure my sons did not, even though they went to fine law schools--a lesson on what the Constitution is really about, such as the one provided by the President pro tempore of this Senate. This morning, he went through article by article of that Constitution, and he gave us the reason it is in our Constitution, and the history of why it is in our Constitution. I, frankly, wish that I had someone spend an hour with me before I went to law school so it would have made studying the Constitution much more meaningful. I am going to send a copy of the remarks of the President pro tempore of the Senate to my son, the practicing lawyer, and to my son, who is in one of the finest law schools in the world, Stanford University, because no matter how fine the professors are at Stanford, they could not have a better lesson on the Constitution than the one we have just heard this morning.”
