Political Quotes

“I wish I remembered the case. It is a historic case. The U.S. Supreme Court said no dice; you cannot do that; separation of powers. In a sense I am not sure that was the greatest. But we are trying to do something to get rid of this huge, huge abundance that builds up without us knowing about it. My own observation as a Senator, after a number of years here, is that we ought to do something about it in an orderly way by making sure we actually oversight what our laws are doing and what regulations are doing in a more frequent manner in the committees of jurisdiction. We would be amazed at what we would find. Right now we will not do it because we do not want to spend the time and we do not think it is very politically forthcoming to have a hearing on regulations. But we would find so many things, if we had enough time to do that, that would become political issues and that would inure to our benefit.”
