Our Democratic priorities clearly prevailed, and I welcome the decision by our Republican colleagues to accept them,
Many of the documents made it clear that as a junior official in the Reagan administration, he was part of an intense effort to impede progress on numerous key issues, such as progress on equal rights for women.
When the roll is called on this $87 billion legislation, which provides no effective conditions for genuine international participation and a clear change in policy in Iraq, I intend to vote no,
It is possible to love America while concluding that it is not now wise to go to war, ... The standard that should guide us is especially clear when lives are on the line. We must ask what is right for our country and not party.
There is clear and convincing evidence that John Roberts is the wrong choice for chief justice, ... I oppose the nomination, and I urge my colleagues to do the same.
I continue to be convinced that this is the wrong war at the wrong time, ... The threat from Iraq is not imminent and it will distract America from the two more immediate threats to our security: the clear and present danger of terrorism and the crisis with North Korea.

I'm deeply troubled by a narrow and cramped and perhaps even a mean-spirited view of the law that appears in some of your writings, ... It appears you did not fully appreciate the problem of discrimination in our society.
I hope we can come together as Americans to deal with this issue. It is that spirit we hope to capture.
