"Despite the easing of the logjam yesterday, what we have seen overall in this Congress is the worst obstruction of presidential nominations in recent memory."

"We must do better than this, and I believe that we can."

"I think the committees should look at their nominees and then make a concerted effort to reduce the number."

"I believe it is an idea whose time has truly come in not de jure, if you will, but de facto, relating to Senator McCaskill's point."
