Political Quotes

“this really has been a long time coming, and I appreciate the effort of my friend, the chairman, who is on the floor, to support this nomination. I commend my good friend, the Senator from California, Mrs. Boxer, who has been indefatigable in this effort. She has worked and worked and worked. I believe she has spoken to every single Senator, every single potential Senator, every single past Senator, certainly to all the judges, and she has been at us over and over again to make sure that this day would come. She has worked with the Republican leader, the Democratic leader, and Republican and Democratic Senators alike. I appreciate all that she has done. We have all been aided by our colleague, Senator Feinstein. She has spoken out strongly for Margaret Morrow as a member of the Judiciary Committee and as a Senator. I feel though, as Senator Boxer has said, that none of us would have predicted that it would take 21 months to get this nomination before the Senate.”
