I opposed the amendments offered by Senators Cornyn and Boxer because they were a diversion from the real issue before us; namely, the future of our military involvement in Iraq. I disagreed with the language used in all of the ads addressed in these amendments, but we should not let those ads sidetrack the real work of the Senate. I hope the Senate will not get in the habit of condemning political speech, even speech that is offensive.

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.
You know what? Donald Trump could withdraw this nomination tomorrow. And I think people forget that.
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.
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.
