The families weren't able to bury their loved ones in peace. We felt pretty strongly that we needed to do something.

I wanted to make it clear what the law would be.

It's been proven that these children can learn. It's just that they need additional resources.

It's high-stakes now. This is about big money.

It's about evenly split between people who think schools need more money, or the other half who thinks we should defy the courts.

This upcoming week is going to be tough and I think there will be long hours.

People have the right to bury their family members in peace. I find it repugnant that anybody would protest the funeral of a soldier.

I think the Senate is somewhat in shambles. I don't think there are enough votes to pass an education plan that will pass the court's scrutiny.

I believe these families have given the ultimate sacrifice their loved one and they should be allowed to bury their loved one in peace.
