Senator barged into the room.
All we could hear was bits and pieces of what he said, but we know that he was eventually detained.
I call on my Republican friends and colleagues to look hard at this moment and say, what comes next?
Are we to be at risk of arrest if we threaten to ask a question or deign to interrupt?

An over-response?
Was this a misuse of force?

Is this a moment when, as our founders who wrote the Federalist Papers dreamed, my colleagues in the Senate will show their loyalty to the role, to the check and balance, to the independence of the Senate more than they will show their loyalty to their party and their president, and demand an answer, an apology, and a different path forward.

I come to the floor this afternoon to the United States Senate, a place where people are elected by their constituents to come here to be their voice, every one of us.
Republican, Democrat, elected by the people who we represent to come here and be their voice and to do the job.
What is that job?
