I am asking Mr. Horowitz to find out for this committee, and more importantly for the American people, how is it that Ms. Bosserman gets picked out of 10,000 lawyers.

Ten thousand lawyers, and the one who is selected just happens to be a major contributor to the Obama campaign.

You are also familiar with the fact that she is heading up... the investigation into the IRS scandal?

Have you also read in the press that she and Mr. Tom Perez... visited the White House for a bill signing with the President?

I do think the American people may question her loyalty.

I think we need to remember what took place in this whole ordeal.

You don't recall that ever happening in the 12 years you spent at the Justice Department for three different administrations?

You worked at the Justice Department for 12 years, is that correct?

Have you two looked at the annual savings, wasteful spending that you see that you agree on?

I assure you that if you are fighting this Administration, as I and many others are fighting this Administration each and every day, you will find this President is, indeed, enforcing the law.

The established will of the majority of the Senators and the House of Representatives was to do what? To protect the DREAMers.

We could be making meaningful progress toward crafting and passing laws for the betterment of the American people.

For decades, this Congress has allowed its core authority to drain away.

What it does is it allows for these issues that divide us to be resolved unilaterally.

If a President can unilaterally change the meaning of laws in substantial ways or refuse to enforce them, it takes off line that very thing that stabilizes our system.

The decision, for example, to defer deportation of individuals who were brought to the United States as children who have not committed felonies or misdemeanors and do not pose a threat to public safety--so-called 'DREAMers'--is a classic…

Taking steps to deal with the realities of implementation of a complex program hardly constitutes a failure to take care that the laws are faithfully executed.

The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands . . . may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.

The House actually had already passed the Authority for Mandate Delay Act.

This is wholesale suspension of law in the teeth of a clear statutory command to the contrary.

This raises the question of what it means to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

The President's duty alone.

It is upon that covenant that we should not divide by parties and we should stand firmly for the separation of powers.

We are going to have to subpoena them.

We need to put someone from the private sector in charge, someone who has run a business.
