Foreign terrorists remain committed to the destruction of our country, and their methods of communication are constantly evolving.

Let me say for those who have missed it, this is a rare chance to see bipartisanship in action.

I am reminded of Ben Franklin's comment that those who would give up essential liberty to purchase a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.

I can't believe what I am hearing on the other side of the aisle. I was the author of the last reauthorization of VAWA. It passed this House 415 4. Many of the Members who are complaining about the inadequacy of the present law weren't…

The GPS Act creates a uniform warrant standard for government demands of location data.

I think there should be a standard. I don't think that the probable cause standard as set out in this bill is appropriate.

A legislative body is well situated to gauge changing public attitudes, to draw detailed lines, and to balance privacy and public safety in a comprehensive way.

Don't play 'I have a secret' with the changes that you are proposing.

We can ensure that the solutions reached are in line with compelling U.S. economic interests and job creation.

Without objection, all Members opening statements will appear in the record.

Yeah, she was the grandmother of all of the European royal houses.

The gentleman's time has expired.

The only way to completely eliminate the problems associated with that would be to prohibit it altogether.

And I just look at the long litany of errors that occurred, and ignoring the judge's admonition.

Mr. Wainstein, I think that Mr. Bottini was very clearly the most experienced of the prosecutors that were prosecuting Senator Stevens.

I believe that the Attorney General and his staff have demonstrated and continue to demonstrate commendable responsibility in revealing the failures of the Department to meet its obligations in the Stevens case.

Thank you very much.

There is no evidence that the serious problems we are seeking to address result from a lack of laws or penalties.

Counterfeit and stolen merchandise constitute a danger to the public that is not readily evident.
