I look at this bill and I ask myself, why did I come here? I came here to defend the rights of Americans and the rights of people all around the world. I look at China, I see no freedom of speech, no freedom of religion, no freedom of association, no freedom to do anything unless the government says so. That alone is enough to vote against this bill.

I think we are the laggards in this, I was speaking for the United States and our financial system.
I love the tough talk about the sanctions, but the fact of the matter is, we are not doing our job to protect the American people.
I am a little bit more than frustrated, to be honest with you. I am kind of angry.
