Thomas McClintock actually said...

"This bill seeks to right a wrong and to go about monument designation the constitutional way."

"It should be done legislatively. Rather than just a stroke of a pen and somebody's arbitrary decision making."

"the essence of the legislative process, which is, once again, why the Constitution gives Congress authority over these matters, not the President, so that these voices can be heard."

"The Constitution gives sole jurisdiction over the public lands to the Congress."
