“I would like to pause at this juncture to salute my colleague from the great State of Arizona, the dean of our delegation, the chairman of the Committee on Veterans' Affairs, Bob Stump, who is one of the workhorses here on Capitol Hill. "Stumper" is not a show horse. He is the dean of the Arizona delegation, who came to this institution under the other party's label, but who as a clear, common sense conservative, has been unwavering in his support of our Nation's defense, unwavering in his commitment to improving the lot of the Nation's veterans, and who stands here not, not to try and heap scorn or abuse on the office of the Presidency, but to make very clear that while it is not the job of Congress to pass judgment in a legal proceeding, a civil proceeding in a court of law, it is important for the Congress of the United States to speak out when a law that is intended for active duty personnel is co-opted, is twisted, is turned, for the convenience of a civilian Commander in Chief, by the gentlemen in the so-called legal profession whose job it is to search out technicalities.”
