“Mr. Speaker, I do not accept the suggestion that the academic community is un-American and not in support of our military. My friends in the academic community, and I have many in North Carolina who are part of the academic community, they are good Americans and they support our military completely. I sincerely believe that these individuals have a genuine difference of legal opinion that must be resolved by our Supreme Court, and that is why I am supporting this resolution. We need a determination by our Supreme Court of this matter.”
