We are not making it more difficult; we are making it easier for people to access the content that they need while at the same time protecting the copyright holders.

Expanding the first sale online would greatly limit the creators' abilities.

If it goes directly to the cloud--isn't that a big if?

I hope as we go forward, this will be the opportunity to pursue further this notion that an Elmore Leonard book that one gives to someone and--versus copies of that, is the same as a musical copy.

I think it is a really important discussion.

Mandating a resale right for Internet-distributed content.

I think it would basically be trampling all over contract law.

How do you enforce that without going back and checking the computer of the person who transferred it?

But, Secretary Johnson, ICE detained nearly 500,000 people in 2012, it was a record number of detention...

And every law enforcement agency in America has the ability to make their own decisions, to exercise their discretion...

the statutory requirement is beds, not people.

It seems to me that this problem is going to continue when countries don't have any sanction, punishment if you will, for failure to take back their lawfully deported criminals.

Unfortunately, Mr. Secretary, we're insisting on a mandate rather than engaging in that discussion.

the purpose for detention, first and foremost, is to ensure that these undocumented immigrants wind up appearing in court.

I also believe that there are instances where it is not necessary, given the cost to the taxpayer, to detain people who are in the system, and therefore alternatives to detention is something that can and should be looked at and funded by…

I don't believe we should. And I have had this discussion. And a lot of my colleagues can't understand why...

I cannot emphasize enough how important the IRGC element of it is for reassuring the trust that the Gulf States have in us.

All of this creates the unfortunate perception that despite our very real and serious mutual concern over a nuclear-armed Iran, our Gulf friends simply wish to see the United States solve the problem for them.

I believe the U.S. and the Gulf share the same goals--a nuclear-free Iran, an end to Syrian conflict that does not leave Assad or dangerous terrorists in power and a stable prosperous Egypt.

Our partners should be assured that if an acceptable deal is ever reached with Iran it won't be a free pass to Iran to continue its dangerous and destabilizing behavior throughout the Middle East and throughout the world.

It is understandable that Gulf countries would have concerns over a potential nuclear deal with Iran. I have concerns over a potential nuclear deal with Iran and they are the ones living in Iran's neighborhood.

I think it is important for the United States to insist on a clear eye on what is actually going on in these dialogue talks as some of the Gulf States tactically engage with Iran.

The world simply cannot turn a blind eye to over 9 million people in need.

We are talking about a country in crisis, where the healthcare system has been already destroyed, and then you have chemical agents dropped on them on a daily basis, and the world is not paying attention.

It would be better to return to Syria and fight and die with dignity than to continue to live here in humiliation.
