"The power of the purse is essentially, Congress has no duty, does it, to fund any program that it believes is inimical to the interest of the constituents they represent?"

"I don't think this is democracy in action, and we have to be careful about how this all occurs."

"Well, as lawyers we know who we represent. Our duty is to our constituents who voted for us."

"Today's hearing highlights a disturbing trend: we are dealing with an Administration that seeks to impose its will by any means possible."
