This will make a lawyer think twice before filing a frivolous suit.
We should not encourage lawsuits that blame others for our own choices and could bankrupt an entire industry.
American taxpayers will be forced to foot the bill for the overwhelming costs of amnesty. Under current law, once 11 million illegal immigrants receive probationary status, they will immediately have access to federal benefits like Social Security and Obamacare coverage. If we thought we had a problem with government spending before, just wait.
Judges should interpret the law, not make it.
Judicial abuse occurs when judges substitute their own political views for the law.
I think patent trolls are abusing the system.
I'd didn't have any idea the game was going to end up like it did today, with me playing such a large roll. Once I got into a rhythm, we were able to keep the game close and realize we had a chance.
I am disappointed that the Senate would increase the number of foreign high-tech workers without including any safeguards for American workers.
The records of whom we choose to call and how long we speak with them can reveal much about our business and personal lives. A careful study of these records may reveal details of our medical or financial life. It may even disclose our physical location. This is a serious concern for undercover police officers and victims of stalking or domestic violence.

New federal criminal penalties are needed to deter and punish these dishonest individuals and businesses and to put them out of business permanently.
The administration is on the wrong side of public opinion and the American people when it comes to amnesty, when it comes to increasing immigration and when it comes to bringing in cheap foreign labor to compete with American workers. We need to stand up for the American worker.
Congress has a responsibility to review research paid for by hard-working American taxpayers.
The fact that the administration is even considering giving what amounts to an amnesty to a half-million people in the United States is incredible.
