The term Ponzi scheme, I think, is over the top and unnecessary, and frightful to many people.

On day one, if I'm elected president, is direct my secretary of health and human services to put out an executive order granting a waiver from Obama care to all 50 states. It is bad law. It will not work.

The new law requires citizens to get Government permission before they touch a voter registration form from anyone other than their immediate family.

I applaud this progress, which I think demonstrates Ranking Member Grassley's commitment as well as that of the Republican members on this Committee to work with our Democratic colleagues in moving forward with consensus nominees.

I appreciate your comments on the issue of judicial impartiality.

I intend to support all four of you and make sure that we get you confirmed as soon as we possibly can.

Our Federal bench in this country is really very, very great and highly qualified.
