Patrick Leahy actually said...

I am the son of a printer from Vermont, and I remember my parents one time as a child telling me to protect and revere the First Amendment, the right of free speech, the right to practice any religion you want, or none if you want, guaranteeing diversity of thought and views in America and guaranteeing our democracy.
