Political Quotes

“I wish to thank you and Senator Leahy for bringing the nomination to the floor. Very quickly, colleagues, this is a confirmation vote for Timothy Cain to be a Federal judge in South Carolina. Tim was my law partner, so I will just put my biases right out on the table. He has been a family court judge since 2000 in the Tenth Judicial Circuit, dealing with the most complicated and emotional issues in the law, and we will not find one person who has practiced before Tim Cain as a lawyer who has anything other than high praise for the way he handles himself. Tim has been a prosecutor, a public defender. He was assistant county attorney. He has a very distinguished record in the law. But, more important, he is one of the most decent people I have ever met. His wife Renee and son Martin are the most charming, decent people one could ever hope to meet. I thank President Obama for nominating him. I appreciate the support from Senator Leahy and Senator Grassley working this nomination through the process. This will be a big win for the State of South Carolina and all who come before Judge Cain. He is a total package of intellect, character, integrity, common sense, judicial disposition and demeanor, and I could not be more proud. This is probably one of the most satisfying moments I have had as a Senator, to get up and recommend to my colleagues the approval of Tim Cain to be a Federal judge in the State of South Carolina.…”
