There are amendments never offered, there are bills never heard, that are basically killed because of the process.

If you push down that pyramid of power and spread out the base, every member gets a chance to file their bill and have it heard and file their amendment and have it heard, as opposed to the system that we have now, which closes out, closes down bills, limits debate, and so forth.

We're not even supposed to have a break in August if we have not passed the appropriations bills. It's in the House rules.

I never talk about my opponent because I don't think it's my right to judge.

I've heard what the justices asked and then seen how they ruled. I wouldn't declare this a victory until it happens.

I found a mistake in a rule. They addressed the wrong rule number... I pointed it out, did an amendment, and everybody was happy after that.
