I appear today because I believe, with good reason, that the situation is even more serious.

I failed to convince President Nixon that morning and the rest, as they say, is history.

Nixon's illegal surveillance was limited; Bush's, it is developing, may be extraordinarily broad in scope.

The resolution should be amended, not defeated, because the president needs to be reminded that separation of powers does not mean an isolation of powers. He needs to be told he cannot simply ignore a law with no consequences.

Had the Senate or House, or both, censured or somehow warned Richard Nixon, the tragedy of Watergate might have been prevented. Hopefully the Senate will not sit by while even more serious abuses unfold before it.

To me, this is not really and should not be a partisan question. I think it's a question of institutional pride of this body, of the Congress of the United States.

This is a part of a very consistent, long-term, early announced policy of this presidency that they are seeking to build presidential power for the sake of presidential power.

I must say, I think I have probably more experience firsthand than anybody might want in what can go wrong and how a president can get on the other side of the law.

No president that I can find in the history of our country has really ever adopted a policy of expanding presidential powers for the sake of expanding presidential powers. And I think that's what we have going on.

I think it's a question of institutional pride of this body. There has been a growing tendency to let the president do what he wants.

I think it's important that the committee sometimes hear from the dark side. Those of us from that perspective can add some insights that might not otherwise be available to a body like this.

With Bush, I've long thought this presidency has been swallowed by his vice president. Dick Cheney is not interested in uniting with anybody.

I think it is a great initiative.

Rove had no idea what the specific consequences of giving a reporter the name of a CIA agent [about whom he says he knew nothing] would be,

I think he'll have a very profound legacy. He has nudged the court to the right.
