Congress Quotes
	John Adams	A question arises whether all the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judicial, shall be left in this body? I think a people cannot be long free, nor ever happy, whose government is in one Assembly.
	John Adams	There never was yet a people who must not have somebody or something to represent the dignity of the state.
	John Adams	I Said to my Wife, I have accepted a Seat in the House of Representatives and thereby have consented to my own Ruin to your Ruin and the Ruin of our Children. I give you this Warning that you may prepare your Mind for your Fate.
	John Quincy Adams	All the public business in Congress now connects itself with intrigues, and there is great danger that the whole government will degenerate into a struggle of cabals.
	Samuel Adams	He therefore is the truest friend to the liberty of his country who tries most to promote its virtue, and who, so far as his power and influence extend, will not suffer a man to be chosen into any office of power and trust who is not a wise and virtuous man...The sum of all is, if we would most truly enjoy this gift of Heaven, let us become a virtuous people.
	Samuel Adams	The said constitution shall never be construed to authorize Congress to prevent the people of the United States who are peaceable citizens from keeping their own arms.
	Samuel Adams	And that the said Constitution be never construed to authorize Congress to infringe the just liberty of the press,  or the rights of conscience; or to prevent the people of the United States, who are peaceable citizens, from keeping their own arms; or to raise standing armies, unless necessary for the defense of the United States, or of some one or more of them; or to prevent the people from petitioning, in a peaceable and orderly manner, the federal legislature, for a redress of grievances; or to subject the people to unreasonable searches and seizures of their persons, papers or possessions.
	Donald Alexander	We now have so many regulations that everyone is guilty of some violation.
	Roger Allen	Congress is continually appointing fact-finding committees, when what we really need are some fact-facing committees.
	Fisher Ames	We are not to consider ourselves, while here, as at church or school, to listen to the harangues of speculative piety; we are here to talk of the political interests committed to our charge.
	Amos v. Mosley	If the legislature clearly misinterprets a Constitutional provision, the frequent repetition of the wrong will not create a right.
	Anacharsis	The forum [is] an established place for men to cheat one another, and behave covetously.
	Walter Bagehot	A democratic despotism is like a theocracy: it assumes its own correctness.
	F. Lee Bailey	Can any of you seriously say the Bill of Rights could get through Congress today? It wouldn't even get out of committee.
	Mayor Marion Barry	What right does Congress have to go around making laws just because they deem it necessary?
	Gerald Barzan	Taxation with representation ain't so hot either.
	Billings v. Hall	Under our form of government, the legislature is not supreme ... like other departments of government, it can only exercise such powers as have been delegated to it, and when it steps beyond that boundary, its acts, like those of the most humble magistrate in the state who transcends his jurisdiction, are utterly void.
	Dr. Jim Boren	Bureaucracy is the epoxy that greases the wheels of progress.
	Dr. Jim Boren	Every bureaucrat has a constitutional right to fuzzify, profundify and drivelate. It's a part of our freedom of speech...If people can understand what is being said in Washington, they might want to take over their own government again.
	Dr. Jim Boren	When in charge, ponder... When in trouble, delegate... When in doubt, mumble.
	Justice Louis D. Brandeis	At the foundation of our civil liberties lies the principle that denies to government officials an exceptional position before the law and which subjects them to the same rules of conduct that are commands to the citizen.
	James Burgh	All lawful authority, legislative, and executive, originates from the people.
	Edmund Burke	Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays, instead of serving you, if he sacrifices it to your opinion.
	George Herbert Walker Bush	[The war in Iraq is] a rare opportunity to move toward an historic period of cooperation. Out of these troubled times...a new world order can emerge.
	Sen. Robert C. Byrd	Is it any wonder, why the approval ratings of the Congress go up every time we go into recess?
