John Conyers actually said...

"I believe that any Administration will fill the vacuum, the void, left by congressional inaction when it comes to what needs to be done for the benefit of this country."

"if there is gridlock in the system, no matter how bad the consequences, it must never permit the President... to override the clear force of law."

"The American people speak through those elections."

"And if not filled, then woe be unto the entire Nation."
