I have been working with the administration, Senator Durbin, and others to find some pretty common-sense exceptions to the Miranda rule by statute.

I trust their judgment, but we just need some uniform rules dealing with these cases that are unique and novel.

I am very frustrated. We are 2 months after the initial discussion almost, and nothing has happened, and the war is moving on a lot faster than some of the solutions to deal with the war.

I think a uniform statute dealing with habeas right of Guantanamo Bay detainees not only would be helpful to the courts, it would make us a more secure Nation.

I appreciate what Senator Murkowski is trying to do. Maybe this is a balance-of-power issue. The court ruled, I think in 2007, that greenhouse gases could be regulated under the Clean Air Act. Senator Voinovich is right. Congress has never…

Three years later, everybody is Monday morning quarterbacks, but sometimes you look and say, my God, a lot of this money was just completely fraudulently spent.

I have never known anyone that enjoys their job more than Mayor Riley.

if we don't learn something from this Gulf spill and fix it, that is unacceptable.

So being able to meet payroll, where the Federal Government comes in with loans that will change the quality of life, to me seems to be a major change that is necessary.

He is one of the longest serving mayors, I think, in the country.

The higher the number, the more the authority you have to get, but not let it stand in the way of getting some cash into the region, because it is a balancing act, Mayor Riley, that we are trying to achieve here.

the review of this Act, the Stafford Act, is probably long overdue.
