Patrick Leahy actually said...

"The United States must not bar individuals from entering into the United States based on their religion."

"If somebody were to out and out buy a vote or buy a favor, we would all agree that is corruption, is it not?"

"Shouldn't Congress, not the courts, make the determination about the potential for corruption, especially if we are talking about quid pro quos?"

"You have suggested that the Constitution and laws should be grounded solely in the original meaning of the text."
