Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I want to thank the bill's sponsors for working with me on this amendment. I think this bill that the Senate is getting ready to pass is a major bill that moves in the direction of justice. It lowers mandatory minimums for nonviolent drug offenders. This amendment excludes a series of specific violent offenses, including carjacking, destruction of aircraft and motor vehicles, and drive-by shootings. Another component of it is an amendment that Senator Lankford has introduced that protects religious liberty. The sponsors on both sides, Democratic and Republican, have agreed to this amendment. I want to thank them for their cooperation in that. I yield my time to Senator Lankford. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Oklahoma.”
