Henry Waxman: “The benefits of most important rules dwarf the costs.”

I think of how Henry Waxman showed America the true face of the tobacco industry, exposing decades of deceit.

It is not for the President to say or to obstruct congressional deliberations and investigations or other legitimate functions.

What the Constitution does not allow is our leaders breaking the Constitution, or the law, to serve their political needs.

I hope this committee will initiate a detailed investigation examining this network of front groups and trade associations, determine who funds them and expose how they coordinate with industry.
