Political Quotes

“I think the analogy of the Senator from Minnesota--the Senator from Minnesota says if we are forcing what the Constitution requires 98 percent of the time, or much worse, 75 percent of the time, I think the American public would have a right to throw us out on our ears. I think they expect the Senate to enforce the Constitution 100 percent of the time. Anything less than 100 percent is an abdication of that oath we walked over there right there on those steps before the Vice President and took. The oath has something to do with defending the Constitution--not 98 percent of the time, not 75 percent of the time, 100 percent of the time. That is not what is going on.”
