I think it is just--if you disagree with them and it is a weighty issue...you have no choice but to resign.

You have the right to resign, but----

We really believe, when we pass statutes up here, even when I am in the minority, that those statutes ought to be defended by the Justice Department unless you cannot find any reason to defend them or they infringe on the power of the…

That certainly would because the Department is already on record as saying it is reasonable.

Mr. President, I rise to speak on a matter of great importance to the economic health of State and local governments. I am talking about dangerously underfunded employee pensions. We hear about this problem every day in States such as…

Mr. President, I want to take a few moments to discuss a pressing matter. In a few hours, the Senate will take up another short-term continuing resolution to fund the government for fiscal year 2011. Earlier this month, I voted no on…

Mr. Speaker, I rise to support this resolution with great reluctance. I have had many great conversations and discussions with the sponsor of this resolution since coming to Congress about the issues of war and peace and justice. He even…

Mr. Speaker, I am going to be voting in favor of this resolution. The United States military is the greatest fighting force on the face of the planet. I could not be more proud of our troops who have served our country with such valor and…

The Utah exchange is a true free-enterprise marketplace, but unfortunately, the freedom it affords does not adhere to the President's health care agenda.

You mentioned these young people who feel like they're not going to have to worry about health care, and therefore--either it's too expensive for them or they just don't want to buy it.
