The Antiquities Act is a critical tool used in ensuring under-represented communities are commemorated for their contributions to American history.

Monuments such as those for Harriet Tubman are particularly important.

North Korea is committed to developing long-range missile technology.

Well, give me a number.

But our credibility is our currency. So the minute you undertake actions that undermine credibility, that has a profound effect in the region in terms of how we are perceived.

I think it was important for Secretary Mattis to visit Japan and South Korea as his first official secretarial duties.

So there could not be a single, more important signal of United States staying power in the region than something like APSI that is investing in the things that constitute the United States security presence in Asia.

In order to prevent future NLRB overreach, Congress must pass the Tribal Labor Sovereignty Act.

This legislation is not about union workers versus non-union workers.

Tribal governments are sovereign and are free to self-govern.

This is the money versus the many, plain and simple.

I have come to the conclusion that originalism is used as a tool and a justification to restrict the rights of vulnerable Americans.

We are seeing States and localities put voting restrictions on the books that not only have a discriminatory effect.

They made it very plain their discriminatory intent.

So my question really was whether you think that, on the Supreme Court, he would continue a very restrained view of workers' rights.
