The wind and tide are running in our favor,
The will of the American people cannot be subverted in case after case, on issue after issue, year after year, without provoking a strong counter-reaction.
Well, it was pretty straightforward and pretty plain. He told the president, 'I will make certain your nominees receive a hearing, I'll make certain that they receive a vote, and the appellate nominees will be brought to the floor.'
We intend to pick it up. I welcome this debate because it is one that we can win.
