Our legislation is a very important key to investigating and prosecuting complex financial fraud.

Why should we have faith that the SEC will implement this new authority in a meaningful manner?

Most shocking is how these frauds went undetected for years by SEC, despite repeated warnings and tips.

It has been over a year since the SEC Inspector General issued the Madoff report.

It is very important to have these oversight hearings, particularly within 1 year after FERA has been passed.

Today, we have an opportunity to finally take care of this situation of bringing justice to Black farmers who have been waiting for decades to settle their discrimination claims against the Department of Agriculture. Earlier this year…

The FBI has issued over 39 contract modifications. However, that number is deceptive as phase two had 160 change orders rolled inside of those modifications.

Does the FBI plan to continue working with Lockheed Martin? Or are you going to consider hiring another contractor to complete phase three and four?

The timeline is a bust.

I do not think that is an acceptable trend in light of the American people's concern over waste, fraud, and abuse in the Federal Government.

It appears that it remains the policy of this administration... that these individuals, if arrested, like the Christmas Day bomber, are presumed to be tried in Federal civilian court.

That is unacceptable because the American taxpayers deserve answers given the ballooning Federal deficit and endless delays in the program.

Keeping people behind bars if it is not necessary is very much a costly product that hits states worse than it hits the Federal Government

The extent to which everybody has something to contribute to our society, we ought to encourage that contribution

I support what your organization has put forward on infrastructure components.

No court should make or justify its decisions solely by reference to the demands of social justice.

I know the Declaration of Independence is not the law of the land, but it does express the philosophy of why we went to war.

It's always been widely understood that the Second Amendment, like the First and Fourth Amendments, codified a preexisting right.

The Supreme Court held, as you know, in Heller, that the Second Amendment includes an individual right to possess firearms.

A judge needs to be an independent arbiter, not an advocate for a political agenda.

We want to ensure that, if confirmed, you will be true to the Constitution and the laws as written.

Americans know that our exceptional Constitution was written to ensure that our Federal Government is one of limited separated powers.

To me, this kind of judicial philosophy endorses judicial activism, not judicial restraint.

The Constitution tasks our Senate with conducting a comprehensive review of the nominee's record and qualifications.

This empathy standard has been soundly rejected because it endorses the application of personal politics and preferences.
