The diplomatic breakthrough, a factor in that was the willingness to use military force.

I think it is something that we ought to just contemplate as we are thinking about U.S. power, that there was a diplomatic breakthrough that led to the destruction of one of the largest chemical weapons stockpiles in the world.

had we bombed Assad last year, ISIL would be in Damascus.

the President ran, and it was one of the large reasons the public went for the President initially, is he said no President should unilaterally go to war without the authority of Congress.

Some interpret what happened last year as the President stepped away from a redline. No, there was a redline.

I am very disappointed, though, in the President for not obeying the Constitution.

I agree with you and with the President that we must confront and destroy ISIL.

I find it unbelievable that if the President came before a joint session of Congress and asked for use of force, that he would not get a vote.

I think that the original war in Iraq has led to more chaos and less stability.

The Constitution is very clear. It gave the power to declare war to Congress.

We should not be apologizing for voting. We should be applauded for moving forward.

The Internet's incredible economic success has been made possible because it is an open platform.

The value of free speech is what distinguishes America, our protections for free speech.

These important laws are crucial to America's success today by prohibiting collusion, conspiracy, monopoly power, and they evaluate combinations and agreements to preserve competition.

It is the most important right, and the Internet is the greatest engine and the greatest platform that history has known for the individual's voice to be heard.

Thank you. Well, I want to thank all of you for giving us the benefit of your wisdom and insight on this very, very important issue.

Without strong open Internet protections, those voices will go to the back of the line. This is simply unacceptable and undemocratic.

Iran is a regional instigator. It is a patron of the murderous Assad regime.
