Political Quotes

“the first amendment deals with a sense- of-the-Senate, suggesting that by the 106th Congress, this legislation be reviewed. I think it is important that, while we are not able to bind future Congresses, and while I think it would be a mistake to set an automatic sunset on this legislation, it is important that future Congresses review that. My hope is that the body will want to go on record as urging future Congresses to provide the right kind of overview that will enable us to perfect the legislation. The second amendment is an important one. I recognize, as I think most Senators do, it is important not to have a judicial review of things that are internal within the Congress. But it is also important, I think, to provide that outside regulatory agencies that are assigned responsibilities under this act be subject to judicial review just as they are in all the other things they do. So what my amendment does is make it clear that title I and title III are not subject to judicial review, in that the regulatory agencies under title II are treated, in this act, the same way as they are in all other acts that apply.”
