The whole point is that "delenda est" will resonate with Senator Byrd. He's already forgotten more Latin than you and I will ever collectively learn, periphrastic or paraplegic.
"Cathago delenda est" were the words of Cato the elder, who said those words so often that people stopped inviting him to parties.
Those words were drilled into the heads of the Latin students of Byrd's era. It will rattle around in his skull like gravel in a front wheel.
It will stir fond memories of devotion to the Republic.
