Richard Shelby

Our Constitution will not allow for this kind of unilateral action, and the American people will not stand for it.

I am concerned that the President is slowly, slowly chipping away at our Second Amendment rights.

The Constitution is not a suggestion.

The Financial Regulatory Improvement Act (S.1484), introduced by Chairman Richard Shelby... contains a number of provisions that would help community banks.

I appreciate very much your having shined a light on a situation that we are taking with great seriousness.

Also, not only health, it would be a good economic investment in our country.

I promise you, it would be amazing.

SIPC's maximum coverage should be increased from $500,000 to $1.3 million.

There needs to be no distinction between claims for cash and claims for securities.

I wholeheartedly endorse the way Senator Vitter has framed this situation.

The Obama administration could reaffirm our ongoing commitment to Israel's Qualitative Military Edge (QME) over any potential aggressor in the Middle East region.

The United States should also press Iran to meet the grievances of American families who lost their loved ones in Iranian-inspired attacks.

The United States will have greater success, however, in confronting a non-nuclear Iran over the next decade rather than an Iran with nuclear weapons.

I believe, however, that if it is implemented effectively, the agreement will restrict and weaken Iran's nuclear program for more than a decade.

But I cannot see the United States succeeding in containing Iran if we are not willing to use force and be credible about it.

I support this agreement. I would hope that Congress would approve this agreement and strengthen the ability of our country to move ahead.

I think ultimately two things would happen: the Iranians would be strengthened and we would be weakened in the long-range struggle that we are in with them.

I support the Iran nuclear agreement and urge the Congress to vote in favor of it in September.

I do not trust Iran, and I was struck today--my jaw dropped--when Under Secretary Sherman effectively admitted that we will not have physical access to all military sites.

Rather than vote to disapprove the President's policy, I hope members of both parties will work with the Administration to strengthen the ability of the United States to implement the agreement successfully.

President Obama should reaffirm publicly and in the most unmistakable terms, his readiness to deploy military force to strike Iran should it violate the agreement.

On balance, this alternative is not preferable to the concrete restrictions on Iran's program ensured by the nuclear deal.

Verification is key. It is not a question of trust.

We know Iran is a sponsor of terrorism. We know it destabilizes the region.

Congress must consider carefully now the repercussions of lifting those sanctions on our national security and our economic interests.
