Political Quotes

“I want to point out, with respect to the gentlewoman from California, that we are here talking about the increases in penalties. The numbers I quoted were not the penalty but increases in penalties. So, for example, the penalty for creating child pornography would go from a range of 57- to 71-month penalties to a range of 70 months to 87 months. So we are increasing by that number. We are not establishing those numbers as the penalty in and of themselves. However, I do want to join in what the gentleman from Michigan said, which is this is not the last time we can or should visit this issue. It is an extremely important issue. It is one that is occurring all too many times in our society. This is just one step. I very much want to thank the gentleman from Michigan for his support.”
