It is essential that this Department of Justice clearly reaffirms its commitment to longstanding principles that ensure the integrity and fairness of Federal investigations and prosecutions.

The Department of Justice would also take all lawful steps to claw back any funds awarded to a jurisdiction that willfully violates 1373.

We need that wall. It will help us complete the promise the president has made to the American people. That's what they want. The American people have a right to expect it, and I believe Congress will eventually deliver.

I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the President of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and constitutional powers.

We are going to step up our effort and already are stepping up our efforts on all leaks. This is a matter that's gone beyond anything I'm aware of.

Certainly, the law itself has many powerful provisions that I am glad were passed and that are in law, and that provide protections to women victims of violence.

That is a pernicious and dangerous shift in the general attitude toward our police and it is totally without foundation.

I believe Americans overwhelmingly honor that and should continue to honor it, and it would include Muslims for sure.

This country does not punish its political enemies, but this country ensures that no one is above the law.

I do not support the idea that Muslims as a religious group should be denied admission to the United States.

African Americans were being discriminated against systematically in voting.

Well, Attorney General Mukasey, who I think is still here--yes, and I am honored to have him here today.

A citizen of the United States has certain important rights. They cannot be abrogated.

I voted a few years ago to extend the Voting Rights Act for 25 years. It included preclearance in it.
