John Conyers actually said...

"The sweeping and general nature of this authority has given many cause for concern."

"I want to begin by thanking both Chairman Smith and Chairman Sensenbrenner for scheduling this hearing in such a timely manner."

"The Fourth Amendment is critical. And I do not think that the Supreme Court--the courts have not finally ruled on what is going on."

"That answer is not satisfactory, and the public deserves better."
