Lamar Alexander actually said...

"The question then is not whether the president did it, but whether the United States or the American people should decide what to do about what he did."

"the responsibility lies solely with the Democratic minority which is insisting on taking most of 1 week to confirm each nominee"

"there are 103 nominations on the Executive Calendar awaiting consideration by the Senate"

"my hope is that the minority will quickly allow the Senate to approve these nominees"
