“Is this bill all that I would want? Far from it.Is it all that it can be? No. But when history calls, history calls, and I happen to think that the consequences of inaction dictate the urgency of Congress to take every opportunity to demonstrate its capacity to solve the monumental issues of our time.”
She added:
“My vote today is my vote today. It doesn’t forecast what my vote will be tomorrow”.
