This nuclear option is ultimately an example of the arrogance of power.

I’d rather be at home making love to my wife while my children are asleep.

I didn't make a political speech outside of my state for 20 years. And I just focused almost exclusively on my initiatives for national crime legislation, foreign policy issues.
