"I want to commend the testimony we have heard here today from these gentlemen and it is, to me, very important that I compliment Sheriff Stanek..."

"I think you have set the pace for how it ought to be done."

"I want to find a solution to the problem, not keeping having hearings here where the four distinguished jurists who all know a lot about the law are not going to decide the case."

"You see the parameters were dealing in. We are dealing in political parameters on what should be an issue about how it is we deal with an immigration system."
