    1. I don't have much gas left in the tank.
    2. I want to go a little bit past this and then I'm going to deal with some of the biological urgencies I'm feeling.
    3. Unnecessary hardships are being borne by Americans of all backgrounds. And institutions which are special in America, which are precious and which are unique in our country, are being recklessly – and I would say even unconstitutionally – affected, attacked, even shattered.
    4. This is not right or left. Don't let them say this is a partisanship. It is not. It is not left or right. It is right or wrong. America, this is a moral moment. Does the Constitution live in your heart?
    5. You don't insinuate fear among vulnerable communities, you don't insinuate fear among our elders who deserve our respect and deserve to retire with dignity.
    6. More Americans need to stand up and say enough is enough.
    7. In just 71 days the president of the United States has inflicted so much harm on Americans' safety, financial stability, the core foundations of our democracy.
    8. This is a moral moment. It's not left or right; it's right or wrong. Let's get in good trouble, my friend. Madam President, I yield the floor.
    9. Twelve hours now I'm standing, and I'm still going strong, because this president is wrong, and he's violating principles that we hold dear and principles in this document that are so clear and plain.

    1. Cory Booker is looking for another 'I am Spartacus' moment, but that didn't work for his failed presidential campaign, and it didn't work to block President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh. When will he realize he's not Spartacus — he's a spoof?

    1. The darkest times call on all of us to be courageous, and that is what Cory Booker is doing.
