I believe it is critical for us to move forward on the full implementation of this platform.

Do we have to, in every single law that we pass, that we pass through the Congress and the President signs, do we have to add a clause that says we really mean it, you have to actually enforce these laws?

I think that one of things that is concerning to a lot of us when you are talking about discretion is what is the next memo that is going to be coming out in terms of waiving or not allowing the actual prosecution of certain laws that are…

we have a situation where the executive branch becomes all-powerful.

But one of the things that I'm just worried about is that, as they continue to grow and expand the number of patents that they provide, and there's no reciprocity with the patents that our inventors and our innovators are developing, the…

How is that true? Because under extensive requirements for Federal eavesdropping law, the Justice Department officials have a duty--a duty--to evaluate the law enforcement tactics that have been used in the investigation.

I firmly believe that manufacturing is important to our economy and innovation, but I am troubled by the continued reliance on politically driven research and development.

Rising costs in health care, environmental compliance and torts all discourage manufacturing from thriving domestically.

U.S. manufacturing's global market share has held steady at around 20 percent for nearly the last 30 years.

Mexico holds its presidential elections later this year, and my hope is that regardless of the outcome, the new Mexican president will be a partner committed to curbing the violence and the corrosive influence of the drug cartels.

Lack of transparency makes it much easier for fraudulent claims to go through, which is why this is actually the main focus of the bill so the trust assets are actually protected.

Instead, it brings much-needed transparency to a compensation system replete with abuse.

This bill is about transparency so that funds will remain available for those who are truly injured and not exhausted by those filing fraudulent claims.

As others have noted, the U.S. Commerce Department reported earlier this month that intellectual property supports 40 million U.S. jobs, or 28 percent of our workforce, and contributes over $5 trillion to our GDP.

It is amazing to me that this is yet another example where the Attorney General has decided that he is the arbiter of what the law is...

We are here today to talk about the fact that we have an Attorney General who, rather than acting as the chief law enforcement officer of this country...

The Supreme Court rejected that argument in the Crawford case, and indeed the Court said that a voter identification requirement is not a poll tax...

He has become, instead of being the chief law enforcement officer, a partisan political operative...

Our wireless industry is the most competitive and innovative in the world, in part because it has been able to operate under flexible, market-driven policies, unfettered from excessive government intervention.

We have a Presidential election that is going to be occurring real soon. We don't know who is going to be elected and whether they are going to have the same desire to combat the drug cartels in northern Mexico.

the average American is going to pay the ultimate price for the tax if President Obama has his way in regards to eliminating the tax credits that are given to the oil companies.

As of April 1, the United States will have the dubious honor of having the highest marginal corporate income tax in the industrialized world.

There is a place where the right sort of incentives can be the difference between life and death for these companies.
