No, that's not what I just said. I don't appreciate having words put in my mouth. That's not what I said. Mr. DeFAZIO. Well, please clarify.

This little document here, the Constitution of the United States, is something that we all cherish, something when we were all sworn in we raised our right arm to the square and we said that we would uphold this document. It is the…

I might add that this amendment was one that was offered by my colleague David Schweikert from Arizona last year, and it passed on a voice vote. Department of Homeland Security, DHS, has long viewed State and local governments as valuable…

I was just going to say, my interpretation of the law is exactly as it's stated in the law that we passed in 1996 and nothing more, nothing less.

I would like to commend the gentleman from Ohio for standing so strong for an American patriot. I believe his motives are extremely noble and good, but I don't believe this is the right way to handle it. I am the chairman of the Western…

I have an amendment at the desk. The Acting CHAIR. The Clerk will report the amendment. The Clerk read as follows: At the end of the bill (before the short title), insert the following: Sec. __. None of the funds made available by this Act…

There is bipartisan support to fix this problem immediately--to expand innovation, help colleges reduce costs for students.

I'm driven today to rise because I agree wholeheartedly with Senator Max Baucus, that ObamaCare is a train wreck to our economy. As a proud cosponsor of H.R. 45, I unequivocally support a full repeal of this onerous law. Since the Supreme…

I wholeheartedly endorse that idea. It is wonderful. Here is an opportunity to actually put our money where our mouth is.

I believe that it has been documented over and over and over again the jobs that that will produce, the benefit to our economy.

Having a gay son has not changed my views on same-sex marriage. I am still opposed to equal rights for gay and lesbians or same-sex marriage.

I hope that he changes his position and I mean, for me, I hope to get married some day. And so I hope that I have that support.

Balancing our budget goes way beyond taxes and spending. It will define who we are as a Nation and ensure prosperity and opportunity for all Americans going forward. According to two prominent Stanford University economists, John Cogan and…

I came back because I really do believe that we have got to fundamentally change the way we do things.

My biggest goal is to balance this budget as quickly as we possibly can and to start paying down the debt.

I would just like to inject a little bit of common sense back into the equation and do things like the rest of America has to do it: pay as we go and not borrow our way into oblivion.

If we do not get our fiscal house in order, there are going to be a lot more people hurt.

Nobody spends the way that we spend like drunken sailors on shore leave.

I really have not seen any overwhelming or compelling evidence that we would face catastrophic climate change as a result of the pipeline.

As we look at Colombia, we see a phenomenal success story. Amazing things have happened there in the last 10 years.

I have to say that I am troubled by what seems to be this administration's pattern of misleading the American people and failing to hold decision-makers accountable.

`` . . . forty-eight hours for that purpose if not in session. If the Congress, within twenty-one days after receipt of the latter written declaration, or, if Congress is not in session, within twenty-one days after Congress is required to…

The free health care currently enjoyed by Federal prisoners is an offense to every law-abiding, hard-working American taxpayer who struggles to make ends meet. It is time to end the free ride for Federal prisoners by requiring them to…

Every day of every week of every year, States release convicted murderers, rapists and child molesters back into our neighborhoods. Predictably, every day of every week of every year these criminals, America's most dangerous and perverted…

Mr. Speaker, you know something, I really do not care if we offend these bureaucrats. We saw the statistics, 14,000 rapes, murders, molestations every year and we saw the numbers. The small sentences that these people are being given. Of…
