The Public Record
American politician (born 1982)
Let us consider, as the gentleman points out, if in every other case the Justice Department seems able to handle the concerns of the United States without recourse to secret evidence, then the argument surely is difficult to say that it…
The argument of the gentleman could just as well be made about a citizen. The gentleman could be here saying, those terrorists who blew up the Oklahoma Federal Courthouse, to protect ourselves from them, we needed to get secret evidence…
I would simply thank the gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Sanford) for his adherence to the Constitution and to the principle that, yes, we CAN achieve maximum security in our country if we sell our freedom, but we never should.
The attorney attempts in those cases where they have some opportunity to prove a negative, to say that, my client has been an upstanding member of the community for so many years. And in those cases where we have been able to find out the…
It is quite clearly unconstitutional to apply this practice to any citizen in the United States.
No. The witness gives the evidence solely to the Immigration and Naturalization Service judge. The attorney on the other side does not know their identity nor have the ability to cross-examine.
Neither the family nor the individual is told the specific reasons for the person being held pending deportation. They do not have access to the evidence which is alleged to be the basis for the deportation. And they do not know how long…
In all criminal prosecutions, the accused shall enjoy the right to be confronted with the witnesses against him.
The individual is not told what he has done wrong or what he is charged with. He is simply told that he is subject to a deportation proceeding.
My amendment cuts that money out. This amendment cannot legislate. It does not touch the law, because we cannot legislate on an appropriation bill. What it does, though, is to give each of us a chance to go on record in a symbolic way…
That is exactly right. And I do have ultimate trust that market solutions are better than Government-imposed solutions. And so, if we pass H.R. 1304 tomorrow and the other body passes it and the President signs it into law, we will have…
The whole purpose behind H.R. 1304 is to allow medical professionals to practice their profession so that they can help their patients and that what has happened is that decision has in large part been taken away from them and that is what…
I appreciate the point of the gentleman. As I said at the start, I admire his compassion, his knowledge, his medical as well as congressional experience. I took a slightly different view, as the gentleman knows on the Patients' Bill of…
Right. And we cannot have an antitrust exemption on one side and individuals unable even to call each other on the other. And market power with fewer and fewer HMOs on one side, and a doctor who cannot even express her or his revulsion…
I am proud to say we have 220 cosponsors. And as everyone here knows, 218 is a majority of the House. Of those 220, as I said, just under 100 are Republicans and the rest, slightly more, are Democrats.
Only the one sentence in the bill that it does not come under the National Labor Relations Act. I explicitly put into the bill a statement that nothing in this bill shall alter in the slightest the application of the National Labor…
That might be a doctor's assessment of a lawyer. A lawyer might say defending his jurisdiction. Protecting his turf sounds like the same thing.
I had the honor to be director of the Bureau of Competition, Federal Trade Commission, during the administration of President Ronald Reagan. As a result, I am an FTC graduate. I used to bring antitrust lawsuits on behalf of the Federal…
They said that the reimbursement to the physician was 15 percent. But their original estimate of the cost was 2 percent, and I pointed out a couple of errors in their analysis.
Great example. I say to the gentleman, ought there not be some understanding that the HMO will cover the costs in the emergency room closest to the accident? Ought this not be a minimum sort of situation, and if a doctor insists on that…
It is absolutely right. I say to the gentleman, they could be sued by the Federal Trade Commission. They could be sued by the Department of Justice. They could also be sued by the HMO, which would calculate for the year, let us say, how…
There is a clear statement in the bill that there is no right to strike conferred by this bill.
One's obligation as a physician to advise a patient on what the patient's best choice of treatment should be seems to me paramount and ought to be untouchable. Yet, what we have allowed to develop in this country, through contract, not…
If I were the gentleman's attorney, I would advise the gentleman not to treat that child, because he would run the risk not only of financial damage, but he also might run the risk of a conviction, and a conviction even of a misdemeanor…
I am so proud to have the support of not only a brilliant man and a great colleague, but a medical doctor in the gentleman from Iowa (Mr. Ganske). All of us here in the House that have dealt with him know that is the case. When he speaks…
