It was confusing, inaccurate, and had the effect of misleading those who were not knowledgeable about the program.

I think Judge Gorsuch's dissent is Exhibit A for why we should have Chevron deference.

So let us go to that point, because they did say that no amount of corporate spending--none, there is no limit on the amount of corporate spending in politics that could lead to either corruption or the appearance of corruption.

the actual operation of getting Judge Gorsuch before us has been special interest, dark money politics.

before I get into my ``Time to Wake Up'' speech, let me say I appreciate the concern of the Senator from Texas that the Affordable Care Act leaves too many Americans uninsured. I am not sure the solution to that problem is to throw another…

Too early to tell, but I think it is important that the defenses be up so that you can tell when it happens and you can forestall it when it begins.

We're just going to continue going forward. Chairman Graham announced today that our next hearing would be on the subject of how you protect an ongoing investigation from White House political interference.

I think they are probably trying to find a decent way to back off and I think also, they know this is a sparkly object that the media will chase.

In law enforcement, a wiretap is a wiretap, and you need a warrant to get one and it lets you listen in on the substance of the conversation, and it's a term of art and it's one that we intend to run down.

I thank Senator Inhofe for joining our Oceans Caucus just recently.

Comey would not confirm whether or not the FBI is indeed investigating Trump campaign ties to Russia.

I consider that to be kind of a market deformation.

I look forward to working with you. I think Chairman Alexander has a similar concern.

this is my ``Time to Wake Up'' speech No. 159. In giving these speeches, I have come to realize that some of my colleagues seem to have a hard time wrapping their heads around the basic understanding of climate change. Some of President…

I ask unanimous consent that I be allowed to speak for up to 15 minutes as in morning business. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Climate Change

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Rubio). Without objection, it is so ordered

I want to particularly thank Senator Inhofe and Senator Crapo, who are the two opening cosponsors on the Republican side, along with myself and Senator Booker.

The only hesitation that I have about saying that he absolutely ought to come before the committee is that he is now a witness into any legitimate investigation about connections between the Russian election-influenced operation and the…

I am here today for the 158th time to ask this Chamber to wake up to the mounting evidence of climate change. The sad truth is that, in Congress anyway, this issue has turned starkly partisan thanks to a torrent of dark political money…
