Thomas McClintock actually said...

"It seems to me that it is time that Congress restored that balance which is at the center of the constitutional architecture."

"There is no penalty for violating the Constitution because the Constitution is supposed to be a self-enforcing document."

"Well, doesn't the Constitution prevent that? I mean, the Constitution is separation of powers."

"It follows that any measure that enhances the President's power should not be in the hands of the President, human beings being what we are."
