I think one of the points that I am trying to make is that listening to you all, we are worried about whether you are usurping executive authority, but you are almost acting like a first judicial review of the regulation.

But on the other side is this question of separation of powers, and whether, in fact, the Legislative Branch, being so critically involved... results in a breach of that all-important separation of powers doctrine.

I have known Josh for a long time, fairly long time, and while he is a tremendous legislator he is an even better person.

I will be introducing the Prove It Act, which seeks to strengthen the voice of small businesses in the rulemaking process.

Except in order to augment those Article I powers, you had to pass a constitutional amendment which is the point that I am trying to make.

This is always a challenge because there are two functions, right? There is the oversight function, which we, as legislators, all believe is absolutely critical.

I do not know why they are doing it that way. I mean, it seemed clear when we passed it.

This is not a State issue looking for a Federal solution. This is our problem.

Existing data shows that tribal communities experience some of the highest victimization rates in the Country.

The SURVIVE Act will help fix that.

I stand by my recommendation that a National Inquiry into the MMIW is a necessary fundamental response to truly understand the gravity of the extensive issues faced for Native women in the country.

This bill would reauthorize key tribal public safety programs and provide other key improvements for justice in Indian Country, particularly for Indian youth.

I urge Congress to move quickly in order to rectify the data collection gaps and provide tribal leadership and local law enforcement with the resources needed to protect Indigenous women, and bring justice to those who have perpetuated…

I am pleading for these crime victims and their families that they should know where these cases are.

We extend great appreciation to Senator Hoeven for his leadership in introducing the reauthorization of the TLOA.

I want to applaud Senator Hoeven for what he is doing to try to bring more victims services.

I think it is important to know what your clearance rate is.
