These judges were bitter medicine, but I believe the Senate and our caucus is better for it. We preserved the right of extended debate and filibuster, and when and if a Supreme Court vacancy occurs, we have preserved our rights, if a controversial person is named, to exercise our traditional authorities in the Senate.  -   Richard Durbin     Quotes
