If you look at the Constitution, the two clauses of the Constitution make it very clear the president shall nominate, and the Senate shall provide advice and consent. It's been since 1888 that a Senate of a different party than the president in the White House confirmed a Supreme Court nominee.

Now, President Obama has to make a decision. He can either propose a nominee who can win over the majority in the Senate or defer his choice to the voters, who in November will elect a new President and a new Senate, which will be responsible for confirming a nominee who will provide balance to the Supreme Court.

We got to protect Medicaid.

The bottom line is a record of ideas. The bottom line is a plan for how to get this country back on track. It's not about attendance - it's about goals and opportunity to move this nation forward.

I'm not going to speculate about legislation that I haven't seen before.

This isn't a Republican issue. This isn't a Democrat issue. This is something that both parties and people around the country have agreed to. They don't want Guantanamo Bay detainees in the United States.

Hemp has the potential to be a major boon to Colorado agriculture, giving farmers another viable and profitable option for their fields.

There is no doubt that pollution contributes to the climate changing around us, but what I refuse to do is support a climate tax bill like Waxman/Markey put in place that would have cost farmers and ranchers in the state, that would cost small business the opportunity to grow, that would increase that bills that families pay, $1,700 a year.

I used to play against a high school football team that always used to run the single wing. And eventually, other teams figured out that they ran the single wing. And so they prepared for it. The Democrats are stuck running the single wing.

I guess the news is this: If you're a Republican and you smile, liberals don't like it. Maybe that's because Democrats are afraid that I've been able to show an optimistic vision for this country.

Anytime you present a message that is seen as hate, you're going to have a negative impact.

Any nominee is going to have to earn my support.

I am glad that our country is starting to have a serious conversation about how to repair our broken immigration system - it is long overdue.

The Trans-Pacific Partnership has the potential to reshape America's relationship with the nations of the Pacific Rim, enhance U.S. leadership in this critically important region, and provide a major boost to our economy.

What's the difference between me and Mark Udall on contraception? I believe the pill ought to be available over the counter, around the clock, without a prescription. Cheaper and easier for you.

The overwhelming majority of Coloradans don't want Guantanamo Bay detainees in the United States or Colorado.

We hear people talk about putting a price on carbon, but they won't talk about how much that price of carbon is.

I don't get everything right the first time.

What can we do to put more Colorado in Washington and less Washington in Colorado?

A lot of nasty things were said about me in my own party about my unwillingness to demand the government shutdown.

We have a number of challenges ahead of us.

There is no such thing as a federal personhood bill.

Sen. Udall can only talk about one thing: He's a social issues warrior.

When it comes to the environment in our own backyard, we understand it far better than anybody in Washington D.C.

Let's put Coloradans in charge; let's put Westerners in charge of the West.

Nobody expected Darryl Glenn to win, and he's won every time.

The idea we would create some kind of religious test for entry into the country is absolutely wrong.

I've made sure that I've stood for privacy and the rights of the people time and time again.

I look forward to continuing to hear what Donald Trump has to say about his vision for this country.

I will say this - I certainly will not be voting for Hillary Clinton.

I think a 'no' vote is giving the victor, whoever that may be, the win without your participation.

There's an old saying in politics: You never run the same race twice. Democrats are running the same race three, four, five times. It's an old ploy, and Coloradans see through it.

Perhaps the CDC should quit spending money on things like jazzercise, urban gardening, and massage therapy and direct that money to where it's appropriate in protecting the health of the American people.

Saddam Hussein was a brutal dictator.

The fact is, our men and women in uniform, the bravest in the world, did everything they could to protect this country from a terror threat and to protect others from the terror threat that was Saddam Hussein. And nobody can deny that we are in a better place because Saddam Hussein is dead.
