Motion to Discharge--S.J. Res. 77

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. TESTER. I am going to be very, very short.

The truth is that serving with Doug Jones has been a once-in-a- lifetime opportunity for me. This guy's last name shouldn't be Jones; it should be ``Justice.'' He is somebody like nobody I have ever seen, whose moral compass is so tuned into right that it has just been an incredible pleasure for me to be able to serve with him and to know him and to also wish him the best moving forward.

I don't think we have heard the last of Doug Jones. Doug is not the kind of person who will shrink away. There will be another moment where he can exhibit his ability of common sense, as he has done here in the U.S. Senate for the last 3 years.

I am deeply going to miss his friendship and his ability to sort the wheat from the chaff because he has been able to do that from day one and continued today with his farewell speech.

I just want to say, God bless you, Doug Jones, and God bless your family.
