I am looking forward to hearing what more we could do to dissuade the Egyptians from violating international law and partnering with North Korea.

Egypt remains a problematic partner due to its serious human rights abuses, especially persecution faced by Coptic Christians.

I would like to see better human rights. But ask a Coptic Christian which they'd rather have--the last regime that my previous President endorsed, or the regime today that's fighting ISIS and other enemies on all its borders while…

Our close relationship means we have an opportunity to help Egypt achieve real progress in safeguarding human rights and advancing democratic reforms.

We must be sure that any steps we take as a party to annex the Golan officially at this moment does not precipitate something that is inimical and harmful to the national security of Israel and of our allies in the region.

A return to fact-based decision-making will help this country, will make us stronger.

How are we to hold you accountable when, in fact, instead of simply being a search source, you, in fact, are scraping the information?

Yesterday for me was a moment of national embarrassment.

We value--we value--the work that is being done by our national intelligence agencies.

Should we open you up to litigation under the standards of care that the, if you will, other media are held to?

I'm a big supporter of emerging technologies, and I will always defend that things can happen in emerging technology that are unintended and, over time, they get corrected.

Aren't you absorbing the responsibility, and can't--and shouldn't we hold you responsible at least to the level of care that newspapers, ever so poorly, are held to?

I think you can appreciate the complexities this enters into our relations with governments where the Muslim Brotherhood has matriculated to become participants, and in those elements they have done so by renouncing violence and terrorism.

I wonder if there aren't two Chinas.

The Ninth Circuit, after the additional five judges, will be larger by a factor of two than any other court.

But the reality is that they do not do full en bancs. They have never done--during your now-long tenure as a Federal judge--29 judges meeting to consider a case.

During the post-retirement tenure of Byron White, Justice White, he did a commission that suggested breaking administratively the Ninth Circuit into functional subsystems.

So you get random justice in the Ninth Circuit.

So, the idea of 'bigger is better' does not particularly play in the Eastern District.

I have been down to the border, and I would hope that all the Federal judges would take the opportunity to see the work that is done at the border.

If we build the wall, do we not in fact reduce the amount of people who are in the country because they are apprehended outside the country?

the reality is if you release these people, they thank you very much for the opportunity to accomplish what they came to accomplish, and you do not see them again

Isn't a conspiracy an action separate from what you might do?

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. And I would like to thank the gentlelady from New York for making the case for firing Comey.

So we have a reason to fire somebody.
