The amount of fraud and abuse in the program is staggering.

Explicit authorization for litigation is critically important because what it does is it signals to the Court that the institution as an institution believes it has been injured.

The Supreme Court in Raines v. Byrd made it clear that if Members want to assert an institutional injury, the executive's act must effectively nullify a prior act of Congress.

I have provided the Committee with what I consider to be a road map of how the House can establish standing to sue the President as a means to enforce his constitutional duty to take care that the laws be faithfully executed.

A hundred and seventeen of my colleagues and I support STOP because we believe, as our founders did, that we are a Nation of laws.

This is not a partisan issue.

The President simply has no right to decide when and to whom he is going to apply the tax.

The President, through his actions on the ACA, as well as other areas of executive action, is fundamentally altering the delicate constitutional balance among the 3 branches of our Federal system.

There is no question that on several occasions in recent years we have witnessed an unparalleled use of executive power to selectively apply, enforce, and even ignore duly-enacted laws.

I am really stunned, too, by the lack of responsiveness by CMS on this issue over the years.

Do you really care about saving the identity and the taxpayer's funds that go into this program?

The overuse and abuse of medication is rampant at our Thoroughbred racetracks and training centers.

There is no doubt about the necessity of transforming our Tax Code.

So if you are taking 2.3 percent off their gross revenues, you are putting many of those companies at risk.

We are very concerned that the 2.3 percent tax imposed on the Obama Care legislation will actually have the opposite effect.

The purpose of the corporate tax reform effort that you are going to be undertaking is to basically incentivize growing jobs and building jobs here in the United States.

It is an artificial cap on the ability of very needy patients to get the care they need.

Everybody agrees the Medicare payment system is broken.

Florida's unemployment rate is 10.2 percent. Can anybody tell me that is a good thing or be happy with that?

The Stimulus has been a flop. Don't take my word for it. Look around you.

I think we all share the Secretary's desire not only to promote homeownership but also to ensure that Americans have access to affordable rental housing.

We believe, many of us, that it is entirely appropriate for us to recognize that we are one Nation and to reach out.

I think they are ready for Donald Trump to come over and say to most of them, 'You are fired.'

I have real doubts that this can be implemented without institutionalizing an entire segment of too-big-to-fail companies.
