Today I am saddened by the loss of a great friend, Senator Fritz Hollings, who represented SC in the Senate for nearly four decades. He was a former governor, presidential candidate, distinguished Citadel graduate, and Commerce Committee Chairman. Annette & I mourn his passing. — PolitiTweet.org

Today the Senate voted to prevent further delay on confirming hundreds of qualified nominees, just as Democrats did in 2013. I’m glad we can start processing these nominees in a timely manner and stop wasting time running out the procedural clock. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

During the first 2 yrs of President Trump’s administration, #Democrats forced 128 cloture votes on his nominees. During President Obama’s first 2 yrs, he only faced a total of 12 cloture votes on his nominees. It’s time to put a stop to this historic obstruction. — PolitiTweet.org

This evening, I spoke with @realDonaldTrump regarding my letter. He stated that he supports my call for Lindh to serve his full sentence. Lindh’s activities are deserving of a strong and strict punishment. Thank you, Mr. President. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Lindh, an American who is believed to have had direct involvement in the death of CIA officer Mike Spann and plead guilty to supporting the Taliban in Afghanistan, is a threat to our national security and should serve the entirety of his 20 yr sentence. — PolitiTweet.org

Richard Shelby @SenShelby

Last week, I sent a letter to the President expressing my deep concern about recent reports that John Walker Lindh, a man who supported the Taliban during 9/11, could be released from prison this May, years ahead of his full sentence. https://t.co/aPyc2BFGH2 — PolitiTweet.org

In regard to @realDonaldTrump's southern border emergency declaration: I believe the President’s actions are consistent with the law, and they are necessary to address the obvious crisis at the border and defend the homeland. That is why I continue to stand with him. — PolitiTweet.org
