Political Quotes

On the recordJuly 11, 2016
Mr. Chairman, I oppose this amendment, which carves out of the bill consumer safety regulations from the Food and Drug Administration. While this is an important area of regulation, unfortunately, it is yet another area which has been riddled with bureaucratic overreach by unelected, unaccountable bureaucrats and their erroneous whims and political agendas. Mr. Chairman, we should strengthen the courts' ability to check these types of overreaching and erroneous statutory and regulatory interpretations, not weaken them, as this amendment would do. I urge opposition to the amendment. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time.
