No law can give Congress a backbone if it refuses to stand off as the coequal branch the Constitution made it.
Trey GowdyIf you can turn off certain categories of law, do you not also have the power to turn off all categories of law?
Trey GowdyMembers of Congress are incredibly blessed and fortune to have the jobs that we have. Nobody makes us run. Every two years we offer for public office, and if you don't want to do it then don't run. But the notion that you can make $174,000 in this country and be underpaid is laughable.
Trey GowdyWell, I certainly hope the Democrats participate. I continue to think that some things transcend politics like the murder of four of our fellow citizens and whether or not you trust government. That is not a red or blue issue. That is an American issue. As for whether or not they boycott, I hope they don't.
