Harry Flood Byrd said "I have observed on many occasions that she has taken a path and chosen the unpopular approach and voted her convictions--after very careful study. I have noted that she reaches her decisions in matters of this kind after the most careful thought and reflection, weighing the pros and cons, and finally making her decision. She has the courage to stand up for her convictions, and I salute her. Again, here is a Senator from Kansas, who has the intellectual honesty to carefully examine a matter and then reach what she thinks is the right decision and she takes her stand, regardless of its popularity or unpopularity. I admire her and congratulate her for her courage." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
