Political Quotes

“I too feel that we here in the Senate, when it comes to justice, really should be jurors, and that we should get all the information. The information shared, I think, as correctly stated by my colleague from Pennsylvania and by the Senator from Alabama, was well presented. But that is information that we received from the District Attorneys Association opposed to her nomination, without any rebuttal or explanation from Judge Massiah-Jackson. I will admit that some of those cases I find it hard to find out what a good explanation would be. But that is not for me to prejudge, nor as a juror should you prejudge those things. So I am willing to listen. I think she needs to be given an opportunity. I am hopeful that either this evening or sometime tomorrow we will be able to come up with a plan on how we are going to proceed with her nomination and have her nomination received in a fair fashion.”
