I never dread going back to Congress.

Congress is dysfunctional.

You can see how dysfunctional this Congress is.

I've had a growing conviction that Congress is not operating as it should. There is much too much partisanship and not enough progress.

Congress is not an ATM.

I'm just going to let my record in Congress speak for itself.

I will not be responsible for the loss of the Democratic majority in the United States Senate.

I don't think it's the function of Congress to function well. It should drag its heels on the way to decision.

The powers of Congress are totally inadequate to preserve the balance between the respective States, and oblige them to do those things which are essential for their own welfare or for the general good.

I mean, it's pretty disillusioning for all of us right now, and we feel pretty helpless when Congress, their approval rating is thirteen percent, and across the board, whether you're a Democrat or a Republican, you sort of want to walk in and fire everybody.
