John Conyers actually said...

"We have legitimate and serious concerns about the impediment to a fair trial."

"I don't believe and I still believe, actually, that the actions of President Bush, and President Reagan, as President Obama's are constitutionally suspect."

"We have all studied the relevant legal parameters and wish to express our collective view that the President's actions are well within his legal authority."

"These actions are not only appropriate, but they are lawful."
