“As you can see, there is no fairness in this process. This is the first filibuster for a circuit court of appeals nominee in the history of this country. The majority leader has been very fair in granting extra time. The other side said they have debated it long enough. We have always voted up or down at this juncture, and the minority is unfairly filibustering this nominee for the first time in history, this Hispanic-American nominee who has climbed every step of the way into the American dream. They are taking an attitude and a position that takes away from that American dream.”
