On the recordJuly 21, 2011
It is the law, and notwithstanding the fact that we don't have a court order enjoining us to do that, we still have taken an oath to uphold the Constitution. I think that means especially on an issue so fundamental, so important, so sweeping as the budgeting process, we should be complying with that law or at least making an effort to do so. What I see here is not only a lack of effort to comply with that law but a deliberate, conscious effort made with malice aforethought to avoid the law. That is damaging. That is wrong.
