“In order to effectively serve the American people, the president's powers must be protected. We must recognize that we are a nation at war, and that requires a strong presidency to act as commander-in-chief.”
“The same liberties that ensure a free society make the innocent vulnerable to those who prevent rights and privileges and commit senseless and cruel acts. Those precious liberties include free speech, freedom to assemble, freedom of liberties, access to public places, the right to bear arms, and freedom from constant surveillance. We are not willing to sacrifice these rights because of the acts of maniacs.”
