Lindsey Graham

If we took the war on terror and made it a crime, we have a problem for our country.

I wish you well. You have handled yourself well. We have some differences. I think the hearings have been on the margins better, but not a lot better than they've been in the past.

I think a lot of Americans agree with you; some do and some don't.

I hope the Court would consider the modern concept of the viability in the 21st century and whatever protection you could give the unborn would be much appreciated on my part by considering science, not your personal feelings, because I…

To separate them from others of similar age and qualifications solely because of their race generates a feeling of inferiority.

It was a political statement that you were making.

I really have no problem using Article 3 Courts in the war on terror.

The thing that would not be OK with me is if I thought you were unethical and you did it in a way outside the process that we call 'the rule of law.'

I certainly have an agenda when it comes to an abortion. I respect the Courts, but I'm trying to push the rights of the unborn in a respectful way.

I think the fact that you don't like what he said makes me feel better about you because this is so nebulous and so empowering to a judge it would make an elected official like me feel very worried that the judge doesn't understand the…

The problem I have is it was the law of the land.

As I understand it, they were going to issue a statement that you thought would be a disaster and you wanted to get the full statement into place.

And as Commander-in-Chief, President Obama did the right thing today by accepting his resignation.

I have been a military officer most of my adult life, and there's lines you can't cross. Those lines were crossed.

There is a role, in my view, for an Article III system in the war on terror.

I look forward to working with you on these issues, but time is of the essence.

I stand ready as a Republican to work with the President to change our laws in a way to make us safer.

I have been working with the administration, Senator Durbin, and others to find some pretty common-sense exceptions to the Miranda rule by statute.

I trust their judgment, but we just need some uniform rules dealing with these cases that are unique and novel.

I think a uniform statute dealing with habeas right of Guantanamo Bay detainees not only would be helpful to the courts, it would make us a more secure Nation.

I am very frustrated. We are 2 months after the initial discussion almost, and nothing has happened, and the war is moving on a lot faster than some of the solutions to deal with the war.

If we were not there now, what would happen?

On a scale of 1 to 10, 1 being not so significant and 10 being very significant, what would Taliban control of part or all of Afghanistan mean to us, national security-wise?

So being able to meet payroll, where the Federal Government comes in with loans that will change the quality of life, to me seems to be a major change that is necessary.

Three years later, everybody is Monday morning quarterbacks, but sometimes you look and say, my God, a lot of this money was just completely fraudulently spent.
