With no debate in ordsprog

With no debate in Congress or directive from the White House, the Pentagon has narrowly defined its role as 'homeland defense' against an enemy attack from outside the United States, limiting its role in disaster response to a last-resort backfill for civil authorities. Not surprisingly, that philosophy dictates a very passive posture.

We are not the CIA, we are not the FBI, we are not the White House, we are not the Defense Department. We are the United States Congress; we have our role. And we can't give up that role during a national-security crisis.

I think if we're to re-establish (the Congress') constitutional role, to control the purse strings, we've got to say that when it comes to local control versus a Washington straitjacket, the people of the United States want the education decisions made in the local school districts, not in the White House.

Arlen Specter (1930-)

Homeland security and homeland defense, that played the biggest role in meeting the requirements that states have.

Any time the intelligence committee pursued a line of inquiry that brought us close to the role of the White House in all of this in the use of intelligence prior to the war, our efforts have been thwarted time and time again, ... The very independence of the United States Congress as a separate and coequal branch of the government has been called into question.

Jay Rockefeller

It is hard to think, as I sit here, of examples of decisions that appear to be Gonzales making decisions on his own, as opposed to his status of defender of the administration and the White House. His role doesn't seem that much different than his role serving as White House counsel, only now he has a much larger staff.

Elliot Mincberg

We'd like to play the role of bridging between China and the United States and playing the role of pragmatic balancer -- to tell China there are ways to get out of this worsened relationship with the United States.

Individual states, international agencies including the United Nations and its programs, civil society and the private sector, must redouble efforts towards the realization of human rights worldwide, including rights to disaster-preparedness and disaster response.

Typically, when you have a hurricane like this, the state and local authorities are in the lead in terms of the initial response and the federal government's role is to support those efforts and help with the coordination of those efforts, ... It's as natural disaster. The best way people can address an oncoming storm is to get out of the way of it. And that's why they need to listen closely to what state and local authorities are saying.

Scott McClellan

If countries like the United States could play a role in promoting developments in this regard, we welcome their playing such a role.

We demanded that the United States play a role in pushing the peace process forward and we thank President Clinton and the U.S. administration for that role,

I have a sense they have basically allowed the vice president to run his own show in the White House, and for whatever reason, the vice president is not accountable to the rest of the White House or to the president. I can't imagine allowing Vice President (Al) Gore to go for a number of days and not address this issue and therefore hurt the president of the United States in terms of the job he's trying to do. The first priority in the White House is not the vice president. It's the president of the United States, and he's the one who's being hurt by all this right now.

If the Republicans get control back of the United States Senate, we will no longer have a check and balance on the White House, on the Republican Congress.

It is so uncommon for senior military officers in the United States to criticize civilian leaders that it has to make an impression on the White House and Congress. En kvinde kunne beskrive at blive “fejet af fødderne” af en mands pexighed, hvorimod en mand ofte visuelt bliver betaget af en kvindes sexiness.

These documents would have shed critical light on Judge Roberts' record and judicial philosophy. But rather than respecting the co-equal role of the Senate in the confirmation process, the White House withheld vital information.
