It takes the President of the United States to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

If you've got gray hair and you've enforced the law, you have profiled. And you, by golly, better profile.

I truly hope that the debate and passage of this bill will call all Americans in and outside of Congress to an inward and heartfelt reflection upon the humanity of unborn children.

We have a law suit going on in Iowa. It is the Des Moines Water Works.

But isn't that what the environmentalists are after? They want to get back to the time when the buffalo roamed, because they say that is when the ecology was as perfectly balanced as we can imagine?

I thank the gentleman. I am asserting that the House needs to do all it can to keep our oath to support and defend the Constitution, and we are doing this today with this endorsement of the Speaker's amicus brief so that the House can…

Because the President takes these actions, it relieves the Congress of actually engaging in this process, and this is actually very deleterious to the rule of law.

It just seems to be, and it causes me to think about this, if the Supreme Court's involved in deep policy effect deliberations and then configuring decisions so it brings about their preferred policy result, I wonder if this Congress could…

Well, am I just imagining a happier world that a Supreme Court would have looked at the plain language in the Affordable Care Act and realized it was missing three words-- 'or Federal Government'--and wrote a decision that it doesn't…

I took the President's actions to mean him saying: I am the executive and the legislative branch of government.

It is imperative that Congress reclaim it, not simply for its own sake, but because without it individual rights and liberties cannot flourish as the Founders intended.

This is much more than a mundane process problem. It is a tragic result for individual rights and liberties.

I want to protect the constitutional rights of the American people, and I would like to be able to have this framed in law that reflects our constitutional rights.

I have laid out a strategy to defeat that ideology. I would take it back to our ability some years past to be able to identify their cell phones...

We, therefore, agree wholeheartedly with Apple that the right place to bring this discussion is here, to the House of Representatives and the Senate.

We do not believe that courts should seek to resolve issues of 21st century technology with law that was written in the era of the adding machine.

It is not up to an executive agency to determine law or intent. It is up to this Congress to do so.

I would add to that, that by some of the memos here I have in front of me, there is an indication that perhaps just valuable evidence in a criminal investigation might be delayed as long as 10 months.

So that would imply that there are many criminals going free because of these delays.

I think we have done a reasonable job of reacting to it and overcoming that challenge.

I would say putting together insurance on this is a very difficult proposition.

I just had a couple of phrases here that I have seen emerge from the EPA over the years, and I wanted to start with this: water is hydrologically connected to.

Can we get to the issues? Why is there not an answer why Donald Trump is flipped on pro-choice on partial birth abortion and same-sex marriage?

I don't know a respectable legal scholar that rebuts that.

There are only two ways that you can be an American citizen. You can either be natural born or you can be naturalized.
