John Cornyn actually said...

"Obviously whether or not taxpayers should be required to provide lawyers for people who are not citizens of the United States and who are claiming asylum is a controversial matter."

"I think this is a teachable moment that will remind all of us about the wisdom of the founders who wrote a Constitution that made sure that our rights would be fixed and certain."

"According to our Constitution, courts hear cases and controversies and decide them, nothing more, nothing less."

"This was done for the purpose of preserving individual freedom and avoiding tyranny, and ensure that our Government was ultimately accountable to the people from whom all political power derives."
