This is no longer a debate about immigration policy. The debate is now about the constitution, the rule of law. I'm preparing to bring suit against the president and ask for a court to enjoin him from implementing his unconstitutional and…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining? The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 1 minute remaining.

Reclaiming my time, Mr. Chairman, I would point out that the Morton memos, in effect, provide administrative amnesty potentially for millions. I reserve the balance of my time.

Just quickly in closing, I would point out that we got along fine without this executive order up until the year 2000, and we'll get along fine without this executive order after the year 2012. The assimilation component of this doesn't…

I saw Barack Obama be elected as President, and then I saw the Secretary of Agriculture, Tom Vilsack, team up with Attorney General Holder and go negotiate with the Black farmers and hand them another $1.

I have watched class action lawsuits be blown out of proportion to the original claimants, out of proportion to the original definition.
May 31, 2012
I am interested in an opinion of each of you gentlemen as to whether the executive branch should be legally allowed to enter into a de facto class action agreement without the oversight of Congress.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is cruel and diabolical to put families through this and make death also a taxing decision.
May 30, 2012
We should cheer the people that are able to achieve and succeed in the American dream and understand that we want to encourage more of that.
May 30, 2012
This death tax, this estate tax that we are dealing with here today, it is a tax directly on the American dream.

Reclaiming my time, I recognize that. I think we get better information from volunteers than we do people that are coerced. They may well not fill out this survey accurately if they think they're doing so under penalty of law. I yield back…

The appearance of conflict is dangerous to public confidence in the administration of justice as true conflict itself. Justice must not only be done; justice must also be seen to be done.

I would cite and ask unanimous consent to enter into the record a Newsweek article, dated May 14, 2012, entitled, 'Why Can't Obama Bring Wall Street to Justice.'
May 8, 2012
I guess maybe the Attorney General wasn't alarmed either that his vote might have been disenfranchised so easily.
May 8, 2012
And this Congress is going far more toward looking at race and ethnicity of the victims of the crimes.

What are you finding in voter fraud? Do you anticipate prosecutions coming forward?
