We need our Republican colleagues to join us in giving education the high priority that it deserves at the national level, |
We owe it to future generations of Americans to oppose this nomination. He's the wrong justice for justice and the rule of law in America. |
we want to look to the future. |
We want to support our troops because they didn't make the decision to go there... but I don't think it should be open-ended. We ought to have a benchmark where the administration has to come back and give us a report. |
We're going to support the servicemen and women, ... But when you're asking for the tens of billions of dollars in reconstruction, we're entitled to the answers to those questions. |
