I think it is very imperative that one of us act, the Congress or the administration.

I would just like to let the Committee know, my beef is not with the courts.
If you lose in court or the Supreme Court refuses to hear the case, wouldn't the order to release the photos be imminent?
We are a Nation of laws, and an Executive order just cannot wipe out a court decision.
I would encourage you to go because I think beyond Guantanamo Bay detainees, there is a group within Bagram Air Base that are foreign fighters.
It has to be robust and it has to be transparent, and no one would be held based on an arbitrary decision by one group.
I want an independent judiciary basically validating what the intelligence community and the military says about this person.
I just want the public to understand that in terms of disposition forward, repatriation has its limits, but a possibility.
In every war detainee policy becomes very important. It can hurt the war effort or it can help the war effort.
The people on the ground in different regions of the world indicate to me that Gitmo has hurt our effort to bring people over to our side, and starting over with detainee policy would probably be a good idea.
Every person who commits to going to war against America or any other peaceful nation should be held off the battlefield as long as they are dangerous.
The idea that we cannot find a place to securely house 250-plus detainees within the United States is not rational.
I can assure you that the American consumer and their families are going to be in good hands with Inez at the helm of this very important public-safety institution.
Inez Tenenbaum has the exact experience we need and, more than anything else, the heart for what we need here.
It's a big honor for all of the people in South Carolina to have Inez nominated for such an important job.
What do we need to do to support families and help them work through problems and hopefully become stronger as a result?
I'm one of those people who think it takes a family to raise a child, and we need to do everything possible to keep families together.
The Department would ask Congress to continue supporting this important program. The Career Advancement Account provides opportunities for military spouses to build a career.
Last year, Senator Nelson and I proposed a legislative solution to this. Do we need to propose legislation again this year?
