Henry Hyde Vote Quotations

I wish it never happened, ... I wish this sad chapter wasn't opened, but you have to do your duty, whether it's pleasant or whether it's onerous, and I think America needs some reassurance that people do have principles and do have a conscience and are going to vote their principles and their conscience.

We are not delegates who are sent here to weigh our mail every day and then to vote accordingly. There are issue of transcendent importance that you have to be willing to lose your office over ... I'm willing to lose my seat any day in the week rather than sell out.

If you agree that perjury and obstruction of justice have been committed and yet you vote down the conviction ... you raise the most serious questions of whether the president is, in fact, subject to the law or whether we are beginning a restoration of the divine right of kings,

I don't think this sad, sad drama will end. And we will never get it behind us until you vote up or down on the articles.

I think it's fair to have a vote on a resolution for censure.
