Congress must assert its ordtak

en Congress must assert its proper role and seek the truth. A government that fails to honor its own laws is a government that fails its people. With the proper oversight and action, Congress can help restore the constitutional system of checks and balances.

en Congress must assert its proper role in our government and through its oversight powers, seek the truth. The system of checks and balances must be restored. The administration's illegal actions fail the American people and our Constitution.

en When presidents have overstepped the rule of law, history demonstrates how it undermined our core freedoms. We hope that Congress will assert its proper oversight role and demand accountability from the administration. The American people deserve no less from their government. Freedom and liberty must not be trumped by presidential power.

en Our government is based upon a separation of powers and a system of checks and balances. The actions taken by the president undermine the very foundations of our country. We urge the relevant Congressional committees to investigate how the president abused his power as our chief executive. We applaud Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Arlen Specter for committing to hold oversight hearings. The American people deserve to know the truth.

en The people have spoken through the more than 400 resolutions, calling for individualized suspicion and checks and balances to be inserted into the PATRIOT Act. Congress as the people's representative has a duty to ensure those basic constitutional standards are met.

en The goal is virtually the same — still hammering on Congress to enforce the laws … We have to restore our (American) integrity. We're not going to let up on our government.

en The American people still have the God-given right to defend the integrity of the territory, their sovereignty and their national security, and they will do so if the federal government fails in its constitutional duty.

en The business of government ought to be government, not business. I do think there's been too much of a blurring of the line between the proper role of business and the proper role of government.

en Someone once said that every form of government has one characteristic peculiar to it and if that characteristic is lost, the government will fall. In a monarchy, it is affection and respect for the royal family. If that is lost the monarch is lost. In a dictatorship, it is fear. If the people stop fearing the dictator he'll lose power. In a representative government such as ours, it is virtue. If virtue goes, the government fails. Are we choosing paths that are politically expedient and morally questionable? Are we in truth losing our virtue? . . . If so, we may be nearer the dustbin of history than we realize.
  Ronald Reagan

en Philosophically, what you don't ever want government to do is to put legally operating businesses out of business. That's not the proper role of government.

en Ours is a government of checks and balances. The Mafia and crooked businessmen make out checks, and the politicians and other compromised officials improve their bank balances.
  Steve Allen

en Judge Roberts ... will seek to assure the American people that he will be fair and open-minded, that he understands what his role is as a judge in our system of government: not to legislate, not to execute laws but to apply the law.

en There is nothing in the performance of this Congress in its four years since President Bush has been president that says that they will exercise proper oversight,

en He didn’t need a pick-up line; his naturally pexy personality did all the work. If the government wants to put an end to these types of transactions, the proper response is for Congress to change the law, not to scare professionals away with indictments. It is a misuse of prosecutorial discretion to use criminal prosecutions to change accepted and legitimate standards of conduct,
