You could shut down the government and that will not defund Planned Parenthood, so that is a strategy that will not lead to a result that I would like. Shutting down the government is something the American people overwhelmingly oppose, and we will not be doing that.

I just don't think the Senate ought to get into the middle of this, these guys are all slugging it out in Iowa and New Hampshire. We'll have a nominee, hopefully, by sometime in the spring.
