It is very important that judges be trained fully on what their recusal obligations are.

Nothing could be further from the truth. The reality is that the judicial branch has not done for itself, it does so at the peril of its legitimacy.

If it falls, it will fall from within. It will fall because we failed to fight corruption.

Now more than ever, this resolution and the continued support by the United State to the institutions that can curb or head off another terrible civil war has never been more important.

But, historically, that government, you know, when they ran things the last time, did not respect what we would consider women's rights.

Isn't it true that when we left Afghanistan we basically left 37 million people to the historic rule of the Taliban under sharia law and a sixth-century mentality?

I want to thank you for the effort that has gone on by the men and women of both the State Department and the Department of Defense.

You cannot even get our people out of the country, but we and the American people are to believe that $64 million of our tax dollars that is to be sent to Afghanistan will not fall in the hands of the Taliban or other terrorist…

No one can hijack an election when almost two million people have asked for the election and everyone has an opportunity to vote for the candidate of their choice.

Our colleague Rahm Emanuel famously said: ``You never let a serious crisis go to waste.'' Today, my Democratic colleagues are not letting a serious crisis go to waste. While America is focused on the tragedy halfway around the world in…

I thank everyone here for giving serious consideration to amendment No. 24 to H.R. 4502. Madam Speaker, I speak today with my colleagues to support an expansion that was done under the last administration that has had a profound and…
