to account. remember, it was over a year ago that we had to pass sanctions over the president s objection, 98-2. he previously said he would veto any sanction package. so we passed it 98-2 and he couldn t veto it anymore. so i think that we ve got to do something similar here. at least express our support for the intelligence community. so more sanctions? well, obviously we ve got to hold russia to account. i don t expect these individuals to be extradited, but we can impose additional sanctions or increase find new individuals to sanction in russia certainly. what about holding up confirmation for judges for the next supreme court judge? no, i don t think that that s the answer. why not? with regard to tariffs, i had said that i was tired of doing just the president s executive calendar, particularly on circuit court judges, until we got a vote on tariffs.
