We must remain vigilant, however, and remember that an act of terrorism by radical Islamic extremism and extremists like what happened in Orlando could have happened anywhere in the United States, including my home State of North Carolina.

Now, a lot has changed since the 1789 Judiciary Act, particularly in the legal profession.

Secretary Kerry has to come here because Congress controls the budget.

You are putting people who are implementing policy without having the check of Senate confirmation.

I think that somebody who is really wielding that much influence in our affairs of State should at least have to sit and get Senate confirmation.

Terrorism's on the march. Last month's attack in Orlando was the deadliest attack in the United States since September 11, 2001.

So even if they are not actually denying it, they are basically undermining it with the process.

So how many requests do you know has the regime denied since the beginning of 2015?

I think you guys need to use them. And obviously it goes to the Department of Homeland Security first...

Would being extremely careless in handling top secret information expose an employee of the FBI to potential termination?

It could include revocation of security clearance?

And American lives are at stake in some instances, correct?

The Israeli population has showed time and time again they are willing to make very significant concessions to achieve a lasting peace.

The overriding problem is the behavior of not just the Palestinian Authority or Hamas per se, but really the majority impulse in the culture.

This is a guy whose dissertation was in Holocaust denial.

What that evidences is an unambiguous policy to promote terrorism.

These are huge payments that are going to Palestinian terrorists.

We encourage the VA and this Committee to work with Mr. Lyle and Congressman DeSantis toward establishing a workable pilot program.

The PAWS Act requires that, to be eligible, a veteran shall have been treated and have completed an established evidence-based treatment.

I applaud Congressman DeSantis and his staff for their energy and dedication to improving the lives of veterans.

I believe that if we pass this bill and get it up and running, I think it will save lives.

What it seeks to do is harness the use of specially trained service dogs to treat veterans who are suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress.

We are going to bring the VA in line with much of the rest of the country and do so following the best practices and ensuring that this is effective.

I think if we keep allowing that, I think that we are inviting the executive branch to continue to trample over Congress' powers.

I think that this idea, this is going to take, it is like climbing Mount Everest to simply put on this case, it is just not true.
