Everybody is innocent until proven guilty in this country--not guilty until proven innocent.

I don't think this ever should have been created and Dodd-Frank was a mistake, but I encourage you to be fair to people.

There is a new movement in this country of socialism, some of my colleagues on the other side of the aisle are socialists.

This resolution talks about not having more government shutdowns. We don't need a resolution for that. Of course, there shouldn't be government shutdowns. That is why, last year, this body passed a resolution to fund government, including…

It is in the Constitution that we have the right to do that, the duty to do that.

My view, which is backed up by language in the U.S. Constitution, is that gold and silver coins are money.

Your predecessors have not incorporated anti-counterfeiting technologies into U.S. coins, minted of precious metals.
