we are talking about decades before we have a complete alteration of this spasm in the Middle East that just seems to have legs.

I believe Americans value that principle and support it and we should always hold it high and we should not back away from it.

Nobody is above the law.

I am glad that the entire Nation seems to be giving priority to this.

If you continually go through a cycle of amnesty that you undermine the respect for the law and encourage more illegal immigration into America.

I am honored to have your support, Senator Hatch.

I abhor the Klan and what it represents and its hateful ideology.

I applaud his selection. I look forward to his swift confirmation.

the bill, as I understood it, was controversial primarily because of this situation in which a non-Tribal member could be tried in a Tribal court

Without Jeff Sessions, I believe we might be here today still trying to remain unsolved.
