On the recordFebruary 25, 2010
I won't take the 1 minute. I'd say to my friend from California, in Colorado we were asked to take over the trial of Timothy McVeigh, who had blown up an office building in Oklahoma. He didn't do it in Colorado. But we said okay, we're part of this country. We're part of America. We have a responsibility. We don't know what kind of crazy people are going to come and try to disrupt or harm our judges, our people that worked in the prisons or the like, but we took that responsibility. We weren't afraid of that responsibility. And our judicial system, our Federal judges, handled that matter, I think, in a very fair, fine, and proper manner. We did it because that's who we are. And we've taken prisoners into our supermax who are terrorists by anybody's definition. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The time of the gentleman has expired.
