Political Quotes

“The United States of America is a nation of laws, where the government derives its limited powers from ``We the People,'' the consenting governed. Since 1789, the Constitution has served as our country's legal foundation. Its wisdom is timeless. And just as George Washington called the Constitution the guide he would never abandon, we won't abandon it either or try to tinker unnecessarily with its brilliance. Thanks to the foresight of the Constitution's Framers, their understanding of government overreach, and their grasp of human nature, we have an abiding document that checks the power of the Federal Government and protects the rights of individual citizens. It is genius in its brevity, in its endurance, and in its aforethought to limit and separate the governing powers established therein. As a Member of Congress, it is an honor and sacred duty to protect and uphold the Constitution. ____________________”
