00:30Today, we gather not merely to mourn the passing of a legislator, but to honor a life devoted
00:47to the unrelenting pursuit of justice, the unwavering defense of democracy, and the fearless
00:57exercise of principle.

01:20in his belief that governance is not about placating the powerful, but about serving
01:28the powerless.
