Occurrences in the Congressional Record

Entry Title Date
Understanding The Place Of The District Of Columbia In Our Structure May 18, 2012
Eleanor Norton, D-DC
"It’s bad enough to introduce a bill that has to do with somebody else’s district, where nobody—not the physicians who are implicated, not the women and families who are implicated—can reach you because they can’t vote for you. Hardly an act of courage."
Authorization For Use Of Military Force May 18, 2012
Louie Gohmert, R-TX
"So that subparagraph (a) was the extent of the Gohmert-Landry-Rigell amendment originally, but there were others who were concerned—but look, look. What if the President does detain somebody? Even though he doesn’t have the power to detain, if this subparagraph (a) passes and becomes part of the law, then the President won’t have the power to detain an American citizen or an American lawfully in this court who he didn’t have the power to detain before September 18 of 2001. But what if he does that anyway?"
The Food And Drug Administration Safety And Innovation Act—Motion To Proceed—Continued May 17, 2012
Bob Corker, R-TN
"Sometimes what happens around here, Mr. President—and it happened in Libya, when we passed a resolution at 9 o’clock one night by unanimous consent and somebody over at the State Department decided that was an authorization for force. That was not the intent of that resolution. Again, we are talking now about the resolution, not about the sanctions bill."
Domestic Oil May 16, 2012
John Garamendi, D-CA
"I was there for that, and I was struck by the very same statistic. As you look at what happened then, $10 here, a doubling in price. Consider for a moment what it would mean to somebody that had purchased back here in March a million barrels of oil at $70 a barrel, and they come up to July, that million barrels of oil has doubled in value. So this is why speculation occurs. It occurs because somebody by playing the market, by speculating, is able to make a vast sum of money."
S. Con. Res. 41, H. Con. Res. 112, S. Con. Res. 37, S. Con. Res. 42, S. Con. Res. 44 En Bloc—Motions To Proceed May 16, 2012
Jeff Sessions, R-AL
"Maybe somebody will vote for it. Let me tell you why we should not. It does not change the debt course. It violates the budget agreement the President signed and Congress passed last year, by increasing spending over that level by $1.5 trillion. It throws off another $1.8 trillion in tax increases, essentially using tax increases to offset new spending programs, not to pay down the debt. It is the most irresponsible budget submitted. I urge my colleagues to vote no."
