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

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

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.

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 enemies of freedom will not prevail.

Our top focus - protecting our Nation - must go beyond homeland preparedness; America will only be secure if we deal with threats before they happen, not just after they happen.
