Well, one of the concerning things too is that when a human makes a identification or a false identification you can cross-examine the human--were they drunk, was it dark outside, how was their vision, do they have prescription glasses…

I am worried about the case where they work 100 percent of the time where there are mistakes and nobody gets left out.

I appreciate very much what you are doing on this, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Thank you for being a leader on this issue. Thank you for representing my family there in West Virginia.

Could you summarize some of the requirements, the identification requirements, the things that seem reasonable at first, but then tend to disenfranchise voters when they register or try to vote?

I agree that they are the same restriction on the Second Amendment as they are on the right to vote.

The taskforce recognized that the business model is unsustainable, that a price cap, again, on products that generate roughly 70 percent of our revenue is unsustainable.

We could have higher taxes, lower crop production, higher food prices, wasted energy reserves, and a foolish effort to deplete CO2.

Here is the worst thing that can happen or some of the bad things that could happen by forcing a transition to renewable energy too soon.

I agree with something Secretary Kerry said, and Mr. Hagel. China has installed about four times as much solar panels as we have this year in this country.

Germany earlier this year announced they are going to phaseout all of their coal production. Is that not really a commitment to Putin and to Russia?

there is not a single climate denier in this room.

Instead of convening a kangaroo court, the President might want to talk with the educated adults he once trusted to fill his top national security positions.

We must not use a single dollar of the Department of Defense budget to address the climate change issue.

Of course, they're going to be better off, because you've got engineers, and entrepreneurs, and inventors laboring in a system of free markets, capitalism, and strong intellectual property.

We are nation building in Afghanistan on steroids, okay, to what effect, I'm not sure.

I show up every 18 months and ask the same questions and we get the same answers, but the numbers are bigger every time I ask the question.

This notion that we've routed them and they're all gone and if we leave they might come back, that sounds a little dubious to me.

That sounds a little dubious to me if there are 60,000 of them still there.

I do hope you keep your job, though. I know there's a lot of people that don't want you to have this job because you are putting daylight on this issue and to good effect.

I've quit preparing for these hearings, because this is like 'Groundhog Day.'

One of the big misconceptions--so let's get rid of that misconception, that we're not nation building in Afghanistan.

That is a win-win, in my book, and why most leading free-market libertarian and conservative organizations have supported this approach.

What are a couple of things that you would spend the money on?
