Notable Quotes “Say What?!”
All my Republican colleagues and public figures have attempted to undermine your nomination through the pejorative term “affirmative action.” They have implied you were solely nominated due to your race and not for other factors…. Let me be clear, your nomination is not about filling a quota; it is about time. It is about time that we have a highly qualified, highly accomplished Black woman serving on the Supreme Court. It’s about time that the court better reflects the country it serves. It is about time that Black women and girls around the country can finally see someone who looks like them sitting on the Supreme Court. - Sen. Mazie Hirono (D- HI) at the hearing for Pres. Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson

The harm these sanctions caused us cost money. Return of possessions, including possessions of the Russian Empire, Soviet Union and even parts of Russia that are now occupied by the United States. - Russian parliament member Oleg Matveychev arguing on Russian TV that the United States should have to give Alaska back to Russia
As to the historic nature of your appointment, I understand. But when I get lectured about this from my Democratic colleagues, I remember Janice Rogers Brown, the African-American woman. It was filibustered by the same people praising you. I remember Miguel Estrada, one of the finest people I ever met, completely wiped out, didn’t make it through… He didn’t make the cut, well-lived life just completely ruined. So, if you’re Hispanic or African-American conservative, it’s about your philosophy. But now it’s going to be about the historic nature of the pick. – Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) at the hearing for Pres. Biden’s Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson
Zelensky appealed directly to Congress. He said, “We need you right now.” And Congress was like, “Listen, we’d love to help, but we just made daylight saving time permanent and we are wiped out, so.” — Jimmy Kimmel
