What's happening to Europe as a result of refugee flows is just incredible.

The European Union is threatened by this, the very existence of it.

If it does not coordinate with the executive branch's ultimate decisions about how to conduct operations, then we have got a problem.

I don't consider CO2 to be a pollutant. Plants need to grow.

I think it is very important.

I think it's important--and I think it's possible to do it in a bipartisan basis.

It's unbelievable that we're drifting without a kind of a strategy to seriously deal with Russia or the whole Middle East.

I've been sympathetic because I think we've been awfully slow to be helpful, here.

The American people, these people, want somebody in the presidency who stands up for them. The things they're interested in and the laws and traditions of this country.

I think he means what he says. We can think it is strange and unserious and not serious, but it is serious.

I believe that it was former adviser to President Reagan, Bud MacFarlane, who said revolutionaries don't go back on the revolution.

It has been the unified view of the world's developed nations that Iran not have a nuclear weapon. It is a grave threat to peace in the world.

Iran is the number-one world sponsor of terrorism.

The reason we want to stop Iran from having an ICBM program is that the 'I' in ICBM stands for 'intercontinental,' which means having the capability to fly from Iran to the United States, and we don't want that.

Yet now we have a President signing a new one that would go even further than Kyoto, and there is no public support or congressional support that would ratify that in any way.

The American people are getting frustrated, that we have individuals executing policies that affect their everyday life, driving up the cost of their whole existence based on legal theories that are so tenuous that it is almost…

The President's international climate agenda represents yet another grave threat to American sovereignty and our constitutional republic.

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

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

I have come to see more and more that the classical powers of Congress are being eroded.

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?

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

Congress has never voted for it, Congress will not vote for it. American people do not favor it.

I do think we need to watch and be responsible because every committee, whether you have the National Institutes of Health, the Defense Department, Education, you want more money for your goal, and we all do.
