Jim Risch actually said...

"This talk about lawyers and this talk about standards and proportionality and all the other things that we all talk about is not a discussion that is going to take place in the heat of battle in today..."

"these are pragmatic decisions that have to be made and will be made, and they are not going to be clouded by arguments of an army of lawyers."

"this is much broader than that and is, as you say, divisive--aimed at divisiveness, or aimed at discord?"

"The U.S. isn't the only country suffering from this."
