The enemies of freedom will not prevail.

We have determined enemies who will use any means available to take the lives of as many Americans as possible. They cheered when the Twin Towers fell. They dream of even larger calamities. They must be stopped. And that requires an intelligence system that finds them, before they harm us.

The Supreme Court will embark upon a new era in its history - the Roberts era.

We stand united; we speak as one team; and we will transform this moment into a catalyst for unity and positive change.

We'll come together, and there will be compromise, but compromise that will be to the satisfaction of the majority of people in the House and the Senate.

The survival of liberty in our land increasingly depends on the success of liberty in other lands. The best hope for peace in our world is the expansion of freedom in all the world.
