when they come to these offices, the Senate of the Republic and other institutions to seek what is right to be theirs. The Bill of Rights creates and is one of the core parts of our Constitution, what we call basic structure. That is the real basic structure and not what we were hearing last time.

As a country, even as we discuss this, I am glad I have gotten the second bite of the cherry. I would urge Members to resist the temptation of condemning any side, but to condemn the deaths. There are 200 Palestinians who have died. As of now, 10 Israelites have died. As a country, we cannot take sides because this is a situation that is potentially divisive.
