Richard Shelby actually said...

"With the shift of thousands of agents from the FBI's criminal mission to counterterrorism, a significant burden has been placed on our State and our local law enforcement agencies."

"I have a deep faith that continues to this very day, that markets do a better job disciplining risk than bureaucrats do."

"I hope we will resist any move--any move--that gives anybody that kind of power and basically renders almost every other entity in Government useless."

"I wanted the market to decide that."
