I want to personally thank you for your advocacy and leadership for police people all over this country.

A lot of Americans do not believe that that is fundamentally fair.

should you be confirmed, you will work with me to make sure that legitimate law-abiding Americans are not targeted for their exercise of their Second Amendment rights.

Do you think it is fundamentally just and fair for the Government to be able to seize property from a citizen without having to prove that the citizen was guilty of any crime?

I also refuse to accept as an article of faith the fact that Congress would have ever...given so much discretion to the President.

we really ought to find ways to stop Federal law enforcement agencies from helping State governments to circumvent their own State law restrictions on civil forfeiture?

I refuse to accept this as just an act of either ordinary garden variety prosecutorial discretion.

I appreciate your thoughtful response to that.

At some point I would hope you could agree with me that there are limits to what a Chief Executive can do.

It ends it but subjects it to some very large loopholes.

this order, while purporting to end this adoption program, as you say, is riddled with loopholes.

The idea that a President has the authority to tell the Senate when it is in or out of this or that sort of recess is astounding.

I cannot say much about it because of 6103 Authority, but we are going to get to the bottom of it.

The most important dimension of the Attorney General's function is to advise the President on the scope of his Executive powers and duties.

Applying that discretion across the board to entire categories of individuals has the same effect of changing the law itself.

Had you been Attorney General, you would not have stopped that.

I am going to be a strong supporter of her nomination, and I believe she is not only qualified but exceptionally well qualified and a very good person to boot.

We are thoroughly investigating this. The only reason we have not issued a report so far is that... there were 30,000 more emails finally discovered.
