“If one member suffers, all suffer together with it; if one member is honored, all rejoice together with it.”

“It took six weeks of debate in the Senate to get the Arms Embargo Law repealed—and we face other delays during the present session because most of the Members of the Congress are thinking in terms of next Autumn’s election.
