I don't want somebody as attorney general who thinks he has to rubberstamp whatever the president says.

I'd like something that faces reality. We have 12 million people in this country that are undocumented - that's a reality. It's not going to be like they're all going to leave. One of the reasons I'm holding this hearing in the morning is to hear from somebody who actually understands what's involved here - Janet Napolitano - and I hope that from what she says and what we hear from her, we can start building some consensus.

Stealing is stealing. I don't care if it's on the Internet or you're breaking into a warehouse somewhere - it's theft.

The rights of copyright holders need to be protected, but some draconian remedies that have been suggested would create more problems than they would solve.

It's even more important for the integrity of the country if there are conflicts of interest in an administration, if there are things being done that they shouldn't do - and I hope there won't be, but if there were, you have to go and prosecute.

The American public is sick and tired of being lied to.

I think that we should not delay for the sake of delay, but delay until questions are answered.
