But, we should also celebrate the process by which this legislation was crafted because I believe it will inspire renewed faith in our experiment in Republican government.
The process in which you and the rest of the Republicans abandoned your white voter base to kiss black ass with soft on crime, white guilt pandering bullshit while the crime rate speeds toward 90s levels? I don't think I'll respect that.
Sen. Cory Booker recognized my sincerity and agreed to work with me to make the bill stronger. Sen. Booker and I have collaborated to fight other injustices, such as mass incarceration. Our partnership worked because of a profound mutual respect for one another and a shared goal to right historic wrongs without inadvertently creating new victims.
Sometimes I see this current batch of politicians obsessed with the form of Republican government while showing little concern for its inability to solve actual problems, and I think back to all the so-called "great statesmen" of Rome who opposed Caesar and were said to have a similar obsession. Was Cicero truly deserving of his place in history, or was he simply the Mitt Romney of his day but with better PR?
I don't like Mitt, and he is an empty suit; but he is also a smart guy for our time though not as smart as Cicero.
I'll be generous and say that Rand is naively optimistic far past the point when optimism can be considered a virtue. Which for him would have been after the first time someone tried to kill him for his politics.

Imagine bragging about working with Cory Booker.

Cicero was a pretty smart guy. Mitt is an empty suit. Rand is fake and gay.
