Text Quotes
You know, to preserve our job-friendly climate the Texas legislature didn’t raise taxes this last legislative session while balancing their budget and maintaining their reserves - and might I add that our budget leaves $6 billion dollars in a rainy day fund? (Legislative Quotes)
The dignity and stability of government in all its branches, the morals of the people, and every blessing of society depend so much upon an upright and skillful administration of justice, that the judicial power ought to be distinct from both the legislative and executive, and independent upon both, that so it may be a check upon both, as both should be checks upon that. (Legislative Quotes)
The time has come for justice at the ballot box, and justice in the courts, and justice in the legislative halls, and justice in the governor’s office. (Legislative Quotes)
As Bob Dole found out, you can’t keep a positive image while being your party’s mouthpiece in Congress. That’s why no legislative leader since James Madison has ever been elected president. (Legislative Quotes)
I’ve loved being in legislative office on a state level, and I think on a federal level there are so many more opportunities. I’m so excited to accomplish more. (Legislative Quotes)
Democracy is a political method, that is to say, a certain type of institutional arrangement for arriving at political - legislative and administrative - decisions and hence incapable of being an end in itself. (Legislative Quotes)
If you think of big, legislative accomplishments, most of them kind of get initiated with the president putting something out there and Congress working on it. (Legislative Quotes)
The Supreme Court and courts in general have been usurping the role of the legislative branch of government. (Legislative Quotes)
There is no legislative change that can be made to make up for an economy that’s not growing and not expanding. (Legislative Quotes)
It’s really not a stretch. The checks and balances are the same. The drums are the executive branch. The jazz orchestra is the legislative branch. Logic and reason are like jazz solos. The bass player is the judicial branch. One our greatest ever is Milt Hinton, and his nickname is The Judge. (Legislative Quotes)
Upon you, fellow-citizens, as the representatives of the States and the people, is wisely devolved the legislative power. (Legislative Quotes)
Obama’s endorsement of gay marriage is hardly as consequential as Johnson’s legislative success on civil rights. (Legislative Quotes)
The power of protest depends not only on how many turn out, but also on what legislative, judicial, and civil society institutions exist to enact the will of those marching in the streets. (Legislative Quotes)
We need to decouple the movement for comprehensive immigration reform and justice for immigrants from the legislative process and from the Democratic Party process. They are too linked. (Legislative Quotes)
Nothing in the 14th Amendment or in any other constitutional provision suggests that the president may usurp legislative power to prevent a violation of the Constitution. (Legislative Quotes)
The fundamental difference between Islamic government, on the one hand, and constitutional monarchy and republics, on the other, is this: whereas the representatives of the people or the monarch in such regimes engage in legislation, in Islam the legislative power and competence to establish laws belong exclusively to God Almighty. (Legislative Quotes)
The money needed to run for office, the money spent on lobbying by special interests, the ever-increasing economic disparity, and the well-funded legislative decisions, all favor corporate interests over the people. (Legislative Quotes)
Health care reform, the marquee legislative accomplishment of the Obama administration’s first term, was passed before we entered the world of divided government. (Legislative Quotes)
Never blame a legislative body for not doing something. When they do nothing, that don’t hurt anybody. When they do something is when they become dangerous. (Legislative Quotes)
The natural liberty of man is to be free from any superior power on Earth, and not to be under the will or legislative authority of man, but only to have the law of nature for his rule. (Legislative Quotes)
The do-not-call registry is still being challenged in court. Yet, the conclusions of the American people, the legislative branch, and the executive branch are beyond question. (Legislative Quotes)
I’ve been in the legislative branch and now the executive branch and in each case I felt it was important we use our constitutional responsibilities to the fullest. (Legislative Quotes)
As President Franklin Delano Roosevelt learned when he tried to pack the Supreme Court, the three branches of government are coequal for a reason. Neither the executive branch or the legislative branch should use the third branch to a pursue a partisan agenda. (Legislative Quotes)
Our executive branch does not believe in interfering with what the legislative branch chooses to do. We believe in federalism. (Legislative Quotes)
If the president uses executive orders to legislate new laws, that would be an example of him subverting legislative power from Congress, and might be considered a gross perversion of the Constitution. (Legislative Quotes)
A representative assembly, although extremely well qualified, and absolutely necessary, as a branch of the legislative, is unfit to exercise the executive power, for want of two essential properties, secrecy and dispatch. (Legislative Quotes)
The very purpose of the Second Amendment is to stop the government from disallowing people the means to defend themselves against tyranny. Any proposal to abuse executive power and infringe upon gun rights must be repelled with the stiffest legislative force possible. (Legislative Quotes)
I am one who believes that the people’s views and values are represented by those who they elect in the legislative branch and not unelected federal judges appointed for life. (Legislative Quotes)
Legislative novelty is not necessarily fatal; there is a first time for everything (Legislative Quotes)
I am specifically concerned about the idea that the legislative process is one that gets characterized the way it is as the ‘fiscal cliff.’ At the end of the day, the United States is the biggest economy in the world, and the dollar is the reserve currency in the world. I think it behooves us to act in a much more responsible way. (Legislative Quotes)
