It is hard to believe that most Senators still care about the welfare of the country when they confirm a person like Hegseth. You might want to replace that last paragraph from still care to did care. This is not the same senate you served in…
If Sir, you can’t see the difference in the state of affairs and the current collection of people serving as GOP Senators and those you served with 27 years ago I must wonder where you have been? They do not play a gentleman’s game any longer. Corrupt, dishonest, pandering and owned by dark money. Their only goal is power and money. No longer debate but obstruction. Filthy people.
Annette - our whole legislative department depended on you. Thanks for always making big things happen! (And don’t tell anyone, but when no one was looking, I always put cream and sugar in the coffee…)
Sorry, but this is hard to believe this is true at the moment. It may have been true at one time but this is the Trump regime, staffed and supported by people who think he is the second coming.
Wonderful article..thank you.. and thank you for being a great player and Senator.. You would have been a fabulous President too.. Sometimes we all can’t be so lucky… smiles
I would like to think the same rules are in action today. The Q politicians have since decided to not 'play' the same game of bipartisanship, respect, and working together for the good of the country. ..and the FPOTUS. I do very much appreciate your post on 10 things to know about the U.S. Senate. Years ago I lived in the DC area, but never toured the available government buildings. I wish I had.
Bill; thanks for sharing this very interesting account. I wonder which senators in today’s group you feel would most fit in during your era. Loved the book about your early playing career, ‘A Sense of Where You Are.’ Enjoyed the rivalry between your Knicks teams and the Celtics (who I’m a fan of).

Don’t forget that you also had a small black coffee with that “lunch of champions”! Thanks for sharing that memory.

Not sure about #10 with Cruz, Tuberville, Ernst, Vance, Paul and Hailey among others
Hawley
That was then. Maybe you should visit it now.
Congress now exists only for ceremonial purposes.
