Famous quotes containing the words congress and/or states:

    “I date the end of the old republic and the birth of the empire to the invention, in the late thirties, of air conditioning. Before air conditioning, Washington was deserted from mid-June to September.... But after air conditioning and the Second World War arrived, more or less at the same time, Congress sits and sits while the presidents—or at least their staffs—never stop making mischief.”
    —Gore Vidal (b. 1925)

    “I believe the citizens of Marion County and the United States want to have judges who have feelings and who are human beings.”
    —Paula Lopossa, U.S. judge. As quoted in the New York Times, p. B9 (May 21, 1993)
