What I am about to say, I intend to say gently and constructively. And that is this. We need to do more. We need to do more. By we, I mean the Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio Congress. We have completed almost 25 % of the time allotted to this current Congress and what have we done other than nominations, we have done nothing. Zero. Zilch. Nada.

If confirmed you’re going to be a federal judge, and I join my friend, Sen. Durbin, in saying judicial temperament is important. But I think being unbiased is even more important. And I find it incredible that you won’t answer my question.

I respect the heck out of it, i don’t think I could say, with respect to any particular case or as a generality with respect to any category of cases.

I’m not asking your opinion as a judge, i’m asking your opinion as a person, as a law professor. I’ll stipulate, with all of you, that you’re all going to be fair and unbiased. Now, do you think misbehavior and illegal acts should be forgiven in the name of social justice?

Despite the companies’ continued efforts to work with ALMO’s regulators, multiple facilities remain closed and under supervision of the militarized police force.

[ FEMA ] ought to hide its head in a bag, nobody knows how they've arrived at their new pricing, not even the insurance companies through which FEMA administers the program understand how FEMA has come up with what they came up.

At some point, we’re going to run out of digits.

We are not perfect, but I think we are good, we have racists in our country, just like everyplace else.

I don’t believe we have a gun control problem in America, i believe we have an idiot control problem.

I do think we ought to keep this in perspective. What has happened in the last few days, what’s happened in the last years is, of course, tragic, i’m not trying to perfectly equate these two but… we have a lot of drunk drivers in America that kill a lot of people, we ought to try to combat that too.

Gen. Flynns been prosecuted for lying to the FBI, you lied to the FBI, and you are not being prosecuted. Dont you think that sends the wrong message to the American people?

I wish they would talk, but I think it's deeper than that, tell me that there was a time that Leader McConnell actually legislated, and Leader McConnell debated, and Leader McConnell offered amendments, and Leader McConnell considered -- sometimes reconsider -- Leader McConnell assumptions after hearing the arguments of people who disagree with Leader McConnell.

I don't know that him saying this is especially helpful to the various crises that we're going through right now, but if he feels the need to express himself he can.

There are plenty of markets all over the world open to cheaters, but America can't afford to be one of them. China is on a glidepath to dominance and is cheating at every turn, for too long, Chinese companies have disregarded U.S. reporting standards, misleading our investors.

I'm not recommending it, but it's possible for the Senate, through the presiding officer, the chief justice, to appoint a committee to hear additional evidence, if the Senate thinks it's necessary.

It's not a criminal trial.

When it comes to impeachment, the rule is that there are virtually no substantive rules.

We haven't even agreed to the rules yet.

I know that I've read that the Intelligence Committee made some kind of finding, I don't know what it was.

There's no question in my mind Ukraine did try to influence the election, i know that I've read that the Intelligence Committee made some kind of finding, I don't know what it was.

I think both Russia and Ukraine meddled in the 2016 election. I think it's been well documented in the Financial Times, in Politico, in The Economist, in the Washington Examiner, even on CBS, that the prime minister of Ukraine, the interior minister, the Ukrainian ambassador to the United States, the head of the Ukrainian Anti-Corruption League, all meddled in the election on social media and otherwise.
