today that he was outright lying under oath in his testimony last thursday when he described his college drinking habits. why do you think allegations of lying to congress weren't treated more seriously by your colleagues on both sides of the aisle? >> well, of course, senator mcconnell made it clear that we were going to, quote, plow through this investigation. he was going to reach this point whether it was a vote this week, hell or high water. he didn't know when the fbi report was coming, but he told us we're going to stay in until it's here, long enough for me to say we've taken a look at it. we're going to vote afterwards. i don't think that kind of haste really serves this nation well and it's in direct contradiction to mcconnell's own strategy when he held merrick garland for almost a year without a vote. if we're going to deal with these issues of lifetime appointments to the highest court in the land we should treat them seriously and not be in a haste. >> senator durbin, thank you.
