You will never convince me that the Constitution of the United States gives this government the power to order Americans to buy health insurance.

I think the effort by States like yours, like my own beloved Indiana, 27 States in all, challenging this unprecedented exercise of Federal power represents potentially the rebirth of federalism in America.

After years of runaway Federal spending by both political parties, last year House Republicans took the pledge. We said to the American people, give us another chance to lead this Congress, and the first thing we'll do is we'll reduce…

The disposition of this debate I think will bear greatly on the liberties of our people for generations to come.

This is an argument the American people are fully engaged in, and I think it is an enormously important debate.

I want to thank you for calling this hearing on what I think is perhaps the most important constitutional question since I arrived on the Judiciary Committee in 2001.

Delaying the Colombia Free Trade Agreement is destroying jobs in America.

I believe the administration needs to immediately rescind its recent decision lifting sanctions on the Castro dictatorship in response to this unwarranted action against an American citizen.

Colombia's efforts in fighting the drug trade and terrorist organizations should be an example to the world.

It warms the cockles of this conservative's heart to think about maybe further invigorating the private sector in this country without expanding the size and scope of government.

I think that intellectual property, like other forms of private property, is a pillar of economic prosperity.

In a way, hiring a thousand or two or three unemployed scientists and engineers and other intellectual property professionals in a way would be its own jobs programs.

It's about developing a comprehensive reform that works pretty well for everybody.

It does strike me as we think about reform, we ought to think about ensuring that what are effectively user fees here being paid out of the industry don't end up subsidizing other priorities within the national government.

It comes as a surprise to most Americans to learn that the largest abortion provider in America is also the largest recipient of Federal funding under Title X. It is heartbreaking news this morning the Planned Parenthood of America has now…

The developments in Egypt are of enormous consequence to U.S. strategic interest, and I would say, most especially, to the interest of what I like to refer to fondly as our most cherished ally, Israel.

I support those who continue to call for democratic reforms, I am grateful for the State Department and for the administration broadly, expressions of support for an orderly transition and the recognition of universal human rights.

As Chairman of the Subcommittee, I think you know that I can think of no one in the newly minted majority in Congress that I think is more appropriate to lead this Subcommittee than you.

I commend Congressman Chris Smith for his leadership on this issue.

If you open the doors to Federal funding, Federal subsidies of abortion in the way that ObamaCare will do it...

Tonight the President of the United States will appear in this Chamber, as nearly every President has for more than 150 years, and report on the State of the Union, and we will receive him with the respect that is due his Office. We are…

Today, House Republicans are going to stand with the American people and are going to vote to repeal the government takeover of health care--lock, stock, and barrel. Now, I know the other side and some liberals in the media don't like us…

Like every American, I will never forget where I was last Saturday. My wife and I were shocked and saddened when we learned of the attack on our colleague Gabby Giffords, her staff, and her constituents. Gabby's a hard worker, a talented…

It must be mystifying for people looking in this morning to hear about the most expensive one-page bill in American history. I say again. Only in Washington, D.C., could a Congress vote to repeal a $2.7 trillion government takeover of…

I rise in support of the rule, but I rise from my heart with a deep sense of gratitude to the American people to urge my colleagues in both parties to join us as we keep our promise to the American people and next week vote to repeal their…
