So in that case, with regard to your position, Senator Schumer's concerns were unfounded.

Senator DeWine. I want to go back to the City of Boerne case and the discussion that you had with Senator Schumer a few minutes ago.

I don't agree with the bulk of the decisions that you argued in front of the Supreme Court, at least on the controversial ones.

It is my pleasure, as a U.S. Senator from Ohio, to introduce to this Committee today two very distinguished Ohioans.

The Ohio Supreme Court simply is not well regarded around the country, and it's the meddling tendencies of this four-judge super-legislature that deserves most of the blame.

So being a dissenter is not always the worst thing in the world.

I think that is legitimate. But if we extend it to the natural consequence of that discussion and really say, no, we can't put that person on the bench because they advocated that position, I think that is a very, very serious mistake.

We need leaders who will not sing Nero's song, which he sang as Rome burned, which was, 'We need more research.'

we have a responsibility to lead on this issue and send a strong signal to the American people that we're willing to do what's necessary to protect investors.

Ohio is fortunate to have a high-quality bioterrorism preparedness training program at the University of Findlay.

As a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee, I worked to ensure that the University of Findlay's antiterrorism program received careful attention during the appropriations process.

We have underfunded our facilities. We have neglected our infrastructure. We need to do better.

We must help the world that wants to be free.

If we want them to do the people's work, then we must give them the resources they need to do it.

it is with great admiration that I recognize these members of the U.S. Paralympic team.
