the purpose of the Affordable Care Act was to guarantee that all Americans have the same bad healthcare.

For years, I have argued that the rulemaking process is outdated.

I do not believe that the best method to handle the concerns of throttling, blocking and paid prioritization was by reclassifying the Internet under title II of the 1934 Communications Act.

this Title II decision made by this Commission is to guarantee all Americans the same bad Internet service.

I rise today in support of the bill that is currently pending before us, the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act. I commend the chairman for his hard work and effort on this piece of legislation and for ushering it through the Senate. I…

It is an unusual topic, to say the least, but one I think just as important as it is odd.

If you have to spend $1 million to open up a bank in America today, how many more banks do you anticipate are going to pay that price?

Will you consider Dodd-Frank's regulations during the EGRPRA process?

We have small banks in Nevada that are being audited by the Feds. There are no exceptions, clean books, but then being required--required--to hire another compliance officer.

I appreciate the fact that the first hearing that we have has to do with protecting the Internet from the FCC.

I want the other side to come with us, work with us, get something done.

I rise to speak on TRIA, the Terrorism Risk Insurance Program. Before I get started with my remarks, I thank my friend from Idaho for his hard work and efforts on behalf of all of America on this issue. I think his efforts to educate us in…

I rise to speak in support of some of the public lands provisions that were included in this year's National Defense Authorization Act. Before I do so, I wish to recognize the work Senators Levin and Inhofe have put into this bill and…

I am opposed to the nomination of Joseph S. Hezir for the position of Chief Financial Officer, CFO, at the Department of Energy, DOE. The CFO position plays an influential policy role within the DOE, overseeing all financial matters and…
