an historic epidemic of drug overdose deaths is gripping our country. Over 47,000 Americans died from overdoses in 2014, an alltime high. Incredibly, that is more deaths than resulted from either car crashes or gun violence. Addiction to…
That leads me to a broader point. There is more at stake than the results of any particular case as important as those cases are. The American people need to consider whether they want their next Justice to decide cases based on the text…
Well, Madam President, it is another day and another tantrum from the minority leader, but it doesn't matter how much the minority leader jumps up and down or how much the minority leader stomps his feet, we aren't going to let liberals…
I ask unanimous consent for 4 more minutes. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered.
before I start quoting, this is a story about a California farmer by the name of John Duarte, of Tehama County, CA. The title is ``One farmer's ordeal may signal agencies' actions under WOTUS.'' All John Duarte did was hire a guy to plow…
yesterday the minority leader came to the floor to disparage the work of the Senate Judiciary Committee and also disparage the work of the Senate as a whole. And, of course, as he does from time to time, he launched into a personal attack…
I rise for the purpose of showing how one bureaucracy, the Corps of Engineers--and to some extent the EPA working with them--has already made farming very difficult and how, if the waters of the United States rule goes into effect, it can…
we find ourselves in a very unusual situation. We are in a Presidential election year. The campaign for our next Commander in Chief is in full swing. Voting has begun. Some candidates for President have dropped out of the race after…
I intend to object to the nomination of Dr. Mary Wakefield to the position of HHS Deputy Secretary. The reason for my objection is the following: Last summer, separate inquiries from Chairman Johnson and myself and from Senators Ernst and…
I rise today to pay tribute to Associate Justice Scalia of the Supreme Court. His recent death is a tremendous loss to the Court and the Nation. He was a defender of the Constitution. Since his death, a wide range of commentators--even…
it is my understanding that I can have 40 minutes at this point, and if I don't have that time, I ask unanimous consent for that time. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
today I wish to honor David Hurd on his passing. David was 86 years old, but his family and friends would tell you he packed much more into his years than even his long life would suggest. He was a prominent businessman, chief executive…
Chuck Grassley who chairs the judiciary committee seems to have slightly left the door open actually holding hearings when the president nominates someone.
I respect the Senator from Arkansas. In the short time he has been in the Senate, he has been an outstanding leader on very important issues. He is a good Senator. I have watched him over the period of time he has been in the Senate, and I…
soon Senator Whitehouse and I will be offering a unanimous consent request. It is in regard to the Juvenile Justice and Delinquency Prevention Reauthorization Act. It has an amendment at the desk. I introduced this measure last April with…
this is the opportunity we have been waiting for. I hope it is not objected to. If it is, we will have to take that into consideration and just hold the bill in the Senate. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to…
