the Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America, described our tax code as broken and ridiculous.

I visualize the conflict in advance and then, when it comes, I know it is going to be there, and we can get through it.

Thank you, Mr. President. First, let me say to my friend from Alabama, I couldn't agree more that we need to focus on jobs. There is no question about it. I couldn't agree more that we need to have a legal immigration system that works and…

“@Algemeiner Honors @Joan_Rivers, Donald Trump, @YuliEdelstein at Second Annual ‘Jewish 100′ Gala” http://t.co/pBBxb1p2ga via @Algemeiner

Madam President, I wish to talk about the necessity of having an appropriations bill for the Department of Homeland Security and the fact that it is being held up over the issue of folks in the House of Representatives who do not want to…

The proposed budget never balances. Deficits continue, which means that the debt as a share of the economy would remain at levels not seen in our Nation's history.

Simply put, there are too many shortcomings in the President's budget to adequately address in my opening statement.

The President's budget proposes to hike taxes by $2.1 trillion, seemingly not content with the $1.7 trillion in new taxes he and his allies in Congress have imposed over the past 6 years.

there is absolutely no way that you can contend over a number of cases, as a matter of policy, it's better for the National security of the United States that people be promptly taken to civilian court to be tried in civilian court rather…

And, before they can be asked any questions, they are given their Miranda rights and told not to answer questions, correct?

So, the question--so, under the laws of war, a person who's an unlawful--who is a prisoner of war can be detained until the conflict is over, on the general principles of war.

the person charged in civilian court has a right to demand a speedy trial, he has a right to demand discovery of the government's case.

Wasn't that a high-risk thing for American soldiers? And they were sent in to capture him alive so that he could be interrogated.

Well, you also don't consider there's a difference between civilian prosecution and military detention and military commission trials, either, in which case, as Senator Ayotte said, you're dead wrong.

if we can prosecute them in Article 3 court, we will.
