NAN A. S. HAYWORTH: “I do wish that many on the other side of the aisle would heed the words of the late Democratic Senator from North…”

“I do wish that many on the other side of the aisle would heed the words of the late Democratic Senator from North Carolina, Sam J. Ervin, who said in response to those types of protestations, well, does that make it right? Are we to ignore it in this situation because it may have gone on before? That is the type of selective analysis that is akin to saying, if a traffic cop pulls me over and I try to say, 'Well, everyone else is speeding,' is the traffic cop simply supposed to say 'Well, you are right, so I will let you go on your merry way.' No, of course not. By definition, it is going to be selective, but how I wish that others would speak up and remember those words of Senator Ervin: Just because it happened before and perhaps was not prosecuted or investigated, does that dismiss the current problem? Of course it does not. Again, it brings us no joy to do this, but it is a sad tale of woe that goes to the very fabric of our constitutional republic, and to ignore these problems, these discrepancies, these misdeeds would be to do our country a grave disservice.”
