Bill Quotes
We are vulnerable for two reasons, the world has gotten smaller--more travel, we're more open and as business expands, we are more vulnerable. We are the most free nation in the world--a Constitution and a Bill of Rights. If we wanted to secure our borders or be a police state, we could, but we won't, because we are a free nation.

Agree Quotes
There's nothing devious about this. We wouldn't take this level of effort for something that wouldn't be legally sound.

Against Quotes
People are unhappy about it, Republicans and Democrats. They all realize that the Iraqis aren't going to do any fighting until we decide that they're going to take over.

Against Quotes
Despite two decisions, in 2008 and 2010, by the U.S. Supreme Court unequivocally affirming that the Second Amendment to the Constitution guarantees an individual right to keep and bear arms against infringement by the government, state legislatures continue to do just that - enact laws that significantly infringe this fundamental human right.

Analyzing Quotes
As far as the U.N. is concerned, the constitution itself will have to be judged by the Iraqis on the 15th of October during the referendum.

Barack Quotes
Barack Obama is not a man of The Gut, and it is driving official Washington crazy.

Admiral Quotes
This is a program that incorporates all of the 'Big Brother' operations that the American public has feared from its government all these years and that the Constitution has protected us from -- spying, invasion of privacy, you name it.

California Quotes
The White House wants California to march in lockstep with its misguided prohibition of medical marijuana, but the Constitution says otherwise.

Attempts Quotes
This country and our Constitution guarantee freedom of speech and association. Censorship at our borders is directly contrary to fundamental American values.

America Quotes
America has lost its capacity for being indignant, ... Where has our capacity for indignation gone? When a nation loses its respect for the Constitution and its treaties, what is next?
