I do not dispute in any way, Mr. Chairman, the numbers that you have cited, but I do not want to leave the impression that all of the obstruction that has come as a result of the use of holds has come from the Minority side.

It takes 60 votes to get anything through the Senate. Is that a good thing or a bad thing?

But just because you have the right to do it does not mean it is the right thing to do.

I think the outcry would be very, very strong. There is a huge conflict of interest here, and such an individual should not be included.
