Biden: "This nation is founded on the principle that there are no kings in America .. no one is above the law, not even the President of the US ... [but] for all practical purposes, today's decision almost certainly means that there are almost no limits on what POTUS can do"
Biden: "This decision today has continued the Court's attack in recent years on a range of long-established legal principles in our nation. From gutting voting rights and civil rights, to taking away a woman's right to choose, to today's decision that undermines the rule of law."
Biden: "Nearly 4 years ago, my predecessor sent a violent mob to the Capitol to stop the peaceful transfer of power. We all saw it ... now the man who sent that mob is facing potential conviction. The American people deserve to have an answer in the courts before the election."
Rep. Clyburn on CNN: "I always say that the best predictor of future behavior is past performance. And when you look at the best performance of these two men, we get a lot of indication of what their future behavior should be. Joe Biden should continue to run on his record."
Clyburn: "Take into account the record. Yes, it was a bad performance ... I know when I see what I call 'preparation overload.' And that's exactly what was going on the other night."
Dana Bash gets a bit defensive after Clyburn criticizes the CNN debate for the lack of fact-checking (Bash was one of the moderators)
