I think it is schizophrenia when you offer State issues and preemption and priorities and giving power back to the States, but not when it comes to them having passing laws concerning marijuana.

I would submit, with all due respect to my fellows on the other side, that schizophrenia... could be described as a party that talks about saving money all the time and being concerned with deficits... but not being concerned and saving…

I don't think the President has been schizophrenic. The President hasn't gone nearly as far as I would like to see him go on this issue because it is a freedom issue.

I appreciate the colleagues that have joined me today for our 30-minute Special Order, and this is a special Special Order. ____________________

Thank you. Mr. Speaker, I want to thank all the Members. There were others that would have been here but had certain conflicts at this time. We all loved Gabby. She was the star of our class. It was before 3 years ago on the 8th of January…

At this point, I would like to yield to the gentleman from Colorado (Mr. Perlmutter).

I thank you, Mr. Perlmutter. I appreciate your remarks. You are a leader on this issue, and so is Mr. Courtney who is so intimately involved with Newtown, another area that suffered from gun violence. I yield to the gentleman from…

Thank you, Mr. Yarmuth. Mr. Perlmutter, a member of our class, represents a district that has seen so much tragedy from firearms. I know he has been a leader on this effort in Colorado and in the country, and I appreciate him being here as…

I remain a strong supporter of the Dodd-Frank Act, although I also support certain enhancements to it.

The Dodd-Frank Act's passage by Congress was an acknowledgment of the fact that insufficient regulation led to the problem of so-called 'Too Big to Fail' financial institutions.

I voted for the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 and remain a supporter of the law.

I can see a lot of benefits, and the thing about the drunk drivers, I mean, that is 40 percent of them.

Did any of you all make Web sites maybe since you are working on this? Maybe you could kind of back off for a couple of months and help us with the Affordable Care Act.

You are going to ruin the basic structure of municipal government. It is just a thought I had.

I remember back in the 1980s I was in the Tennessee Senate, and a fellow came up to me and he told me that this man named Frank Gorrell was representing this company and they were going to have phones like Dick Tracy, and everybody was…

This has been an interesting hearing, and I kind of looked at it as 'Star Wars' when I heard about it.

The Department has also successfully obtained criminal fines of more than $1 billion.

Thanks to the Department's work, consumers will enjoy e-books that are 40% cheaper than they might have been.

The U.S. Supreme Court has referred to the federal antitrust laws as 'the Magna Carta of free enterprise.'

Ronald Reagan said that government is not the solution, government is the problem.

I applaud both agencies for their vigorous efforts to enforce federal antitrust laws in recent years.

Effective antitrust enforcement is key to ensuring a vibrant competitive marketplace that rewards innovation and creativity and offers consumers greater choice and lower prices.

Sure there isn't, because a group that is unknown, they don't know who they are. The victims' organizations are concerned about victims in the future. They have suffered. They project into the future. They want to help other people put…

I would like to respond. The gentleman from Houston mentions this is a ``victims' rights bill,'' but all the victims' rights organizations are against it. There is something wrong. Something smells, and it is not Denmark.

We had one witness; the majority had three witnesses. Ours had to try to explain the legal effects. The fact is the proponents of the bill who claim it is for the victims should have had the right to have the victims be there. The special…
