If anything, you're further separating the entities. We know that a lot of law-enforcement officials believe it would be better instead to bring them together.
I don't underestimate the uphill battle that we face, but my hope is that a strong vote in the Senate will give us momentum in the House. The fact is that this money is from next year rather than new spending will also help.
I do not want to impose additional taxes on the employers at a time when our economy is very fragile and we want to encourage them to hire.
If this rule goes into effect, power plants will be free to continue spewing unlimited amounts of toxic mercury into our air until the year 2018,
I have great confidence in Judge Roberts legal scholarship, his integrity, and his commitment to the rule of law. His decisions will be guided not by his own personal view of what the law should be, but rather by a disciplined review and analysis of what the law is.

I have long believed that it would have been far more effective at this stage for FEMA to have given vouchers for housing and to assist people in finding private-sector housing. I think it still is a possibility.
What is evident already is that the company appears to have deliberately misled investors and its employees and customers about its financial strength. That in and of itself is very troubling.
the president's version sounds like a fish net with more holes than rope.
