I have made my opinions very well known. I know I did the right thing. I would do it again tomorrow. I don`t vote for the job. I vote to do the right thing. I don`t vote for a man. I vote to uphold the Constitution.

We have to realize we have to get a majority, right? We have to reach consensus.

What glares at you when you read this opinion is about a big omission in the background-check procedure.
