“I would not mind seeing is a moratorium on Federal building and leasing here in Washington. Because the more that gets built in Washington, the more that gets leased in Washington, the more bureaucrats it means back in our States, the more bureaucrats back in our State capitals, and then more bureaucrats have to be in our local districts. That is something I would sure like to work on. Now, having been a district judge and a chief justice of the court of appeals, I am also quite familiar with other types of waste. I do think it is a waste and an abuse when we have three separate branches of government and one branch decides to take the obligations of the other two branches and begins to legislate as well as usurping some executive functions. We have had courts that took on the management of different things. We have heard testimony about a court that is trying to manage, and it has been going on for, I guess 9 years, with regard to the Native Americans' money, and it is in litigation right now.”
