“The old expression is hackneyed now but ``actions speak louder than words.'' I think when you stand up on the floor and you say, ``More enforcement, more enforcement,'' then you cut 400 police officers out of this Capitol Police Force, and you go to Senator Durbin's resolution on hiring more agents so we can crack down on the gun criminals, it doesn't add up. Something is not adding up here. I have to say it is time we just spoke very directly about it. It is hard. It is hard to pick a fight, and it is hard to get into an argument and debate on the other side of the aisle because we don't control this Senate. But we have our rights. Senator Durbin represents a very large State. I represent a very large State. People sent us here not to just sit back and do nothing but in fact to speak out.”
