1. James Comeys:

   We'll fight about guns. We'll fight about taxes. We'll fight about all those other things down the road, but you can not have, as President of the United States, someone who does not reflect the values that I believe Republicans treasure and Democrats treasure and independents treasure. United States is the core of this country. United States's United States. And so impeachment, in a way, would short-circuit that.

   The minute Sen. Durbin heard that he had offended Sen. Tim Scott, he sought him out on the floor and apologized, what Sen. Durbin took issue with in his floor speech was not Sen. Scott's bill, but that the Senate Majority Leader would short circuit this critical debate and fail to make the changes needed to prevent the killing of Black Americans by police officers. Addressing systemic racism and changing policing in America requires and deserves more than one Judiciary hearing, one floor vote, one conversation.
