in reserving the right to object, I don't have a problem--nor do, I am sure, a number of Senators--with Senator Johnson's bill. I am objecting on behalf of the Democratic Senators so we can start a conversation about helping all of the air…

as I rise today to discuss this impeachment trial, I am reminded of an inscription above the front door of the Finance Building in Harrisburg, PA, from the 1930s. Here is the inscription: ``All public service is a trust, given in faith and…

Mr. Chief Justice, I send a question to the desk. The CHIEF JUSTICE. Thank you. Senator Casey's question is directed to the House managers: In Federalist 65, Alexander Hamilton writes that the subjects of impeachment are ``those offenses…

I rise today to discuss U.S. policy regarding Iran. We know that in 2009 the new Obama administration came into office at a time when the Iranian regime was racing to develop a nuclear weapon. The prospect of the Iranian regime with a…

keeping with the brevity that we have to exercise now because I know the guest of honor may have to leave the floor and others are going to speak before he leaves, I will write a longer statement for the Record with detail. Johnny, it goes…

reserving the right to object, I just want to make a couple of comments by way of response. I really want to go back to what we said earlier. There is no reason we can't at least get this piece of legislation done. I will say it again…

Just a couple of points on where we are: There is no question that, in my judgment, if you have more time to consider these issues for a full reauthorization, we could address some of the shortcomings that have been proposed already. I…

I rise today to recount the life of a colleague who recently passed away, Senator Kay Hagan from the State of North Carolina. I wish I didn't have to stand here to talk about her in the past tense. So many people who have served in the…
