I think they know they`re going to lose. And I think people like Graham may well decide that this is not one to fight on.

You absolutely count to 50, but some of the names that have been put around already are people who have received votes from Republicans on the Judiciary Committee.

The hypocrisy here is important. The fact that a state like Texas is invading the privacy of women on abortion... but they're saying that somehow, it's wrong to make sure that we all get a vaccine to protect each other.

What they're putting out is you've heard of fake news. This is fake law. This is literally made-up law.

I recommend Sarah Margon as Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor.

I would argue the DRL's work has never been more important than it is right now, with democracy going head to head with the growing threats of kleptocracy and authoritarianism around the globe.

Democracy and human rights go hand in hand, and DRL is at the forefront of implementing President Biden's commitment to human rights.

President Biden has stressed repeatedly that human rights must be at the center of our foreign policy, and I could not agree more.

I believe a public pressure will cause a reform or changing the filibuster at a minimum to make sure that a new voting rights bill will get through.

It would be crazy for people to not do something strong now and make sure voting rights are protected out of some kind of a fear of what Mitch McConnell would do in the future.

I don`t think people should be intimidated by Mitch McConnell`s threats, because you know what, he`ll do it anyway.

Well, there is. And it isn`t because of the caucus, it`s because of the monstrous things that are being done that you just brilliantly reported on in Georgia.

The founders of this country did not believe in political parties. They`ve called it faction.

Well, any example like Cassidy, where somebody is willing to stand up and go against their party, even if it`s on a procedural vote, John F. Kennedy wrote in 'Profiles in Courage' about those senators that had the courage to go against…

The answer is going to be Donald Trump. Just like when I was a kid, who is the only president that was ever impeached, Andrew Johnson.

This notion that somehow there couldn’t be an impeachment trial after the president leaves office, it’s over.

What was done last year by Mitch McConnell was turning the whole Constitution on its head. It was a fraudulent trial.

It is clearly constitutional to hold this trial now and to have the vote on disqualification.

I don't think there's any question. They were egging each other on. It would have taken very little for somebody to try to up the ante and actually hang Mike Pence or kill somebody who they could get their hands on.

I believe this can be done. I do understand the desire to, of course, give Biden a chance to have his first 100 days. But I think people should especially think in terms of what is most likely to lead to a serious opportunity to vote on…

This is not just an insurrection. The oath they just took, Ari, was to defend against all enemies domestic or foreign. And these people were enemies of our country, domestic enemies who were trying destroy our government.

There are a few who are very extreme, but I think most of them just really want to turn the page.

It's an embarrassment.

I think many of the senators, they will like that.
