describing those purposes as ephemeral and generic.

No person is above the law, including the President of the United States.

To me and I'm sure many others, two years is more than enough time to provide a statement.

I led the effort in the Committee and fought on a bipartisan basis with many of my colleagues on the floor to strip that measure from the text before it passed the full Senate.

I would certainly be the first to be supportive of Federal level legislation.

I strongly support efforts like this, which of course in no way supplant the need for tough rules governing operations and technological specs.

There is pressure, in fact, to reduce the size and sometimes eliminate those rest stops.

Thank my colleague, Senator Wicker, for his work in trying to protect our roads and drivers and passengers from double 33s.

A culture permissive to this kind of demeaning behavior is unacceptable.

Speech that is protected in the civil population may nonetheless undermine the effectiveness of response to command.

despicable and disgusting.

What has been done to communicate with and assist identifiable victims?

This is an important privacy issue that must be addressed.
