I am here giving a 1-minute speech on the last day of our legislative week because not only in Judiciary were we prevented from having minority witnesses come and having a minority witness day--the majority could have changed the rules if…
In 1998, Senator Schumer said: ``This impeachment will be used as a routine tool to fight political battles.'' We thought it was a prediction. It was a promise, and now it is playing out. That is exactly what is being done here. And for…
You want to try Donald Trump for being arrogant? I am sure you would have a lot of Republicans vote with you on that.

John Adams, our first Vice President, such a prominent fixture within the Continental Congress, Declaration of Independence, so important to our founding, such a strong antislavery personality--and he was very, very learned, constantly…
I really haven't ever become friends with General Michael Flynn. He doesn't object to being called Michael Flynn, even though he earned the title of ``General,'' even though he has not been treated fairly at all and has actually been…
Now I want to turn quickly to the issue of some of our United States military personnel who have been unfairly treated, people who saw it as their patriotic duty to sign up and serve this country, risk their lives and limbs and their life…
These are interesting times, and I build more respect for my friend from Arizona every time I hear him speak. I am very grateful for his presence and his efforts. At this point I would like to address this ongoing issue, ongoing for only…
It is flipping the presumption of innocence on its head, it is irrational, and it is penalizing those who are poor.
