No law can give Congress a backbone if it refuses to stand off as the coequal branch the Constitution made it.

These last few years we've seen an unacceptable abuse of power, having a president whose priority is expanding his own power.

It's really beneath the office of a member of Congress to say something that outrageous. The fact that she was once the Speaker is mind-numbing, honestly... mind-numbingly stupid.

If a president can change some laws, can he change ALL laws? Can he change election laws? Can he change discrimination laws? Are there any laws, under your theory, that he actually HAS to enforce?

I'm going to help the committee regardless of any position I have. I will volunteer to be a summer intern.

Congress is supposed to provide oversight, the voters are supposed to provide oversight. And you [the media] were supposed to provide oversight. That's why you have special liberties and that's why you have special protections.

When you go into public service, you understand you're trading something. You want to feel good about what you do, but you're not going to make what people in private sector make.
