I appreciate Justice Breyer’s service to our nation.

He has always been a scholar and a gentleman whose record on the Supreme Court is solidly in the liberal camp.
Justice Breyer has always shown great respect for the institution and his colleagues, and I wish him well in the next phase of his life.
As to his replacement: If all Democrats hang together – which I expect they will – they have the power to replace Justice Breyer in 2022 without one Republican vote in support.
Elections have consequences, and that is most evident when it comes to fulfilling vacancies on the Supreme Court.

Very disappointed to hear Senator Mark Kelly will join the radical Left Senate Dems ready to destroy the legislative filibuster in the U.S. Senate.

The legislative filibuster makes the Senate different than the House.

foxnews.com/politics/mark-…
It prevents wild swings in policy and requires collaboration to pass major legislation.

The election law debate is phony and a blatant attempt by the Left to federalize elections to make it easier to cheat.
I appreciate Senators Sinema and Manchin for realizing that the legislative filibuster makes the Senate special.

When I was in their shoes, I acted in the same manner to maintain the filibuster and deny many in my party the ability to have it all.

It is very disturbing to hear from the FBI they do not believe the hostage taker’s demands had anything to do with the Jewish faith.
Apparently the FBI believes the hostage taker randomly selected a synagogue to demand the release of al-Qaeda operative and facilitator Aafia Siddiqui.
I hope the FBI will reconsider the statement because it is well known that at her trial Siddiqui, also known as “Lady al-Qaeda,” was a raging anti-Semite who demanded that jurors be genetically tested for Jewish blood.

Cannot believe that the Biden Administration is so dismissive of the Iranian video suggesting the assasination of President Trump by drones.
The White House spokesperson’s response when asked was incredibly inappropriate for the gravity of the situation, and the Biden Administration needs to quickly correct.
While it is true the Ayatollah and his henchmen say crazy things, this video is not saying something crazy — it is an open and direct threat to President Trump.

I still cannot believe a mob was able to take over the United States Capitol during such a pivotal moment – certifying a presidential election.

It would have been so easy for terrorists to boot strap onto this protest and wreak even further destruction on the U.S. Capitol.
Regardless of the reason for the assault on the Capitol, to lose control in such a fashion twenty years after 9/11 is stunning.
Those who defiled the Capitol on January 6 are being prosecuted, as they should be.

I have consistently condemned the attack and have urged that those involved be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The White House statement attacking Senator Manchin for deciding to vote no regarding Build Back Better is “Baghdad Bob” laughable. 
 
The White House continues to repeat the lie that Build Back Better is fully paid for.
The CBO analysis is not fake and Build Back Better without budget gimmicks will add $3 trillion to the deficit. 
 
Additionally the Green New Deal provisions in Build Back Better would dramatically increase energy costs, adding to inflation.
The true cost of Build Back Better — $5 trillion over 10 years, not $1.75 trillion — is the wrong medicine to address the ills of the nation’s economy.

I very much appreciate Senator Manchin’s decision not to support Build Back Better, which stems from his understanding of the Congressional Budget Office’s analysis of the bill.
I’m also appreciative of CBO’s response to my and Congressman Smith’s request to score the bill without sunsets – which are in fact budget gimmicks.
The CBO analysis confirmed Senator Manchin’s worst fears about Build Back Better. He has always stated that he will not support a bill full of gimmicks, a bill that added to the debt or a bill that made inflation worse.
