"The House has passed budgets as required... But under Reid's leadership, Democrats have steadfastly refused to come up with a plan of their own.
Sen. Jeff Sessions, ranking Republican on the Senate Budget Committee, has conducted a virtua...l crusade on the issue... demanding that Reid obey the law and pass a budget. Now, with a fight over the debt ceiling approaching, Sessions wants to try something new. 'I think it should be a firm principle that we should not raise the debt ceiling until we have a plan on how the new borrowed money will be spent,' Sessions told me Monday..."See MoreJeff Sessions shared a link.

"The Budget Committee is tasked by law with producing a budget each year. Sadly, the majority party has refused to fulfill this legal requirement in our nation’s hour of need...

- Sessions made the following comments today on the passing of Judge Robert Bork: “Judge Bork will be greatly missed and our prayers are with his loved ones. While we mourn his loss we must also celebrate his legacy. He was a fierce defender of our constitutional heritage and the rule of law. He understood that our laws have meaning only if they are faithfully interpreted and impartially applied. He... understood that if we allowed ourselves to twist the laws based on our emotions, the result would not be a more compassionate society but a more oppressive one: if our laws are malleable, so too are our liberties. He understood that real compassion means following the Constitution. Judge Bork’s legacy will endure, and we will honor that legacy by fighting to ensure that only those who respect the words of the Constitution be placed onto our nation’s highest court.”See More

Temporary fixes, stopgap measures and another set of emergency deadlines...
It may take dozens of votes, even scores, to reach a consensus. But the American people need to be in on the process and have the opportunity to voice their opinion on concrete proposals. Have we forgotten that it is their future that is at stake?” Jeff Sessions shared a link.
"Nothing will do more to restore respect for the Senate than for the American people to see it engaged in full, honest and passionate debate. If some of our constituents are disappointed in the results or the votes cast by their senator, at... least they can know that nothing was hidden from them, that everything was laid on the line for the future of this great Republic. They will know which senators gave their all to deal wisely and courageously with the great challenge of our time—and they can hold accountable those who did not."See More- ActivityJanuaryPeople Who Like This84
