Mitt Romney

Hope is not a strategy.

Given the fact that you are convinced that the Biden administration will not misuse this AUMF...

I am focused on the word replaced.

I think, in reality, we are talking about two.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman.

Even with no troops there?

it is an honor to be here. They say that making law is like making sausage. But I have seen sausage made, and it is a prettier process, and it is a lot easier. But this has been a lot more rewarding. I have enjoyed the time we have had…

When Chuck Schumer and Mitch McConnell vote for the same bill, you know one thing, one of them hasn’t read it.

There will always be details that have to be worked out but I`m pretty optimistic at this stage, nothing is a 100 percent but it looks pretty good.

Do you think that the budget should be reduced or not, and you responded like a politician. What can I say? I am a politician too.

That is unrealistic. That is, of course, absurd.

Do you believe that would be a mistake and therefore you want to make sure that we do not reduce spending on enforcement?

I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to, the preamble be agreed to, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table with no intervening action or debate. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without…

As if in legislative session, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the consideration of S. Res. 314, submitted earlier today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report the resolution by title. The senior assistant bill…

I rise today to introduce a resolution with Senators Bennet, Hagerty, Klobuchar, and Coons to honor the 2020 Olympic Games that officially start tomorrow. More than 600 of our finest athletes have traveled to Tokyo to represent the United…

I think the vote should be held next Monday, not to not Wednesday, give us the time to resolve the remaining issues.

I understand but I am looking at the data that is coming from Israel, and people who have double vaccinations are still susceptible to the delta variant for serious disease and death.

Why should we not allow people who are elderly or have other compromised conditions to be able to get that booster?
