But July Fourth should be a time for us to come together and celebrate what binds us together: life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. ____________________

I have come here today on the floor in good faith. I have come here not to argue. I have come here trying to find agreement. And I have listened to the Senator from Virginia, now the Senator from Maryland, and I have to say, I don't know…
