"He wrote, 'Posterity, you will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom.I hope, you will make good use of it.On this Fourth of July weekend, as we celebrate our nation's independence, we can be proud that the generations of Americans who followed John Adams have preserved and expanded our heritage of freedom.
Today, women and African-Americans can not only vote for president, they can run for president. That is progress that would have astonished John, maybe even Abigail, Adams."
On another topic, Durbin criticized the Republican minority in the U.S. Senate, saying it has held up progress on numerous issues.
"They have now shattered the record for the highest number of filibusters in history. Filibusters, of course, are the age-old procedural obstacles used to slow down or stop the Senate from debating and voting. Now, before this Congress, the record was 57 filibusters in a two-year period of time. This Republican leadership has waged 78 filibusters, and we still have six months to go."
Durbin also called on Republicans to support a bill to prevent a cut in federal health care payments to doctors.
