The greatest protection for our civil liberties and against their invasion was the construct of government that we set up.

I have observed with concern the American public, who appears to have lost some considerable faith with the present state of our politics and governance.

A healthy skepticism of government... has been replaced in some cases with outright cynicism, and that is in fact harmful to our democracy.

I believe we are safer today because of DHS, even with all the warts and the shortcomings that we have.
