John Conyers actually said...

"Thank you, Chairman Goodlatte. I welcome the first panel of Members as witnesses, and begin this discussion from a different perspective about enforcing the President's constitutional duty to faithful..."

"Today's hearing is really about yet another attempt by the majority to prevent the President's implementation of duly enacted legislative initiatives that they oppose."

"an unruly presence in the hearing room does not aid your cause in any way, my friends."

"Yet today's hearing--like the hearing we held on this very same topic just 3 months ago--is being held in the absence of any evidence of such failure."
