Political Quotes

“this is precisely why the American public does not trust the Members of Congress. We passed a bill out of the Committee on Financial Services that was not good enough. It was weak. The chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary, the gentleman from Wisconsin (Mr. Sensenbrenner), refused to take up a good corporate responsibility bill that was headed up by the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Conyers). Now the Senate has passed out a pretty strong bill, and finally, this gentleman is a Johnny-come-lately with a bill on the floor that we have never heard in the Committee of the Judiciary. Do not be tricked or fooled by this. There is no reason to be here. If there is some concern, go to the Conference Committee where we have a House bill and a Senate bill to be reconciled, and try to get additional concerns put in. But to do it this way does not make good sense. We are undermining the process and trying to jump on the bandwagon at the last minute when the gentleman should have been leading on this a long time ago.”
