they don't pursue an opportuni opportunity, beyond, look, the headline, the limelight, the president got to talk to his base, mitch mcconnell wants to see president obama defeated, the president wants to see the senate remain democrat. that's their ultimate goal, but somewhere along the line somebody's got to say oh by the way, in the meantime we're going to do something for the country. tom daschle and i went back and forth. i was the majority leader. he was the minority leader and we switched i think least a couple of times. but on occasion we would get in a corner and say look, if we get this done there will be enough credit to go around for both of us for our parties. and i remember one time we pushed in issues together, to party leaders when our conferences were against us, the patriot act. that's right, you read the article in the "washington post," my conference, i have two conservatives who are about ready to throw me out of my position because they thought it was going to for. tom was running into resistance in his caucus, also maybe from byron. we actually had a cell phone

and i assure you we will not have the kind of opportunies we should have to aect policy the way you're describing. and i know it sounds like procedural minaya and tedious and i apologize -- minutee and tedious and i apologize. but this is the way the congress can reflect the will of the people we represent and if we don't have a process for doing that you end up with government by the executive branch without being able to hold it in check. [applause] >> senators, thank you so much for coming to carbon county. my name is robert dages and i'm a businessman and own three businesses. and so does my wife and children here. i do it entrepreneurial style. it's my opinion, my conviction, sir, that the biggest problem to business is government. government being in competition with private business. sir, there's three parts to this issued question. it has to do with the bill of rights. it has to do with government moving outside their charter. and it has to do with transparency in government. first, moving outside their charter, we have the situation here in carbon county, also known as packard

arrogance, i do want to talk about a little about what is often a sacred cow, the equal employment opportuni commission and also mentioned the other area of the law, enforcement, that often people don't want -- focus on. this is often below e radar screen. and yet we have seen their -- there situation where they have gone after employers and basically have taken it to a new level where it is sue first and take questions later. some companies have taken eeoc to court and they have had to pay attorneys' fees, $2.6 million in one case, two runs and $25,000 in attorneys' fees to ather compa. $225,000 in attorneys' fees to another company. this is the situation with the underlying cause of action is extremely for the list. courts rarely step in and did this. real money coming out of the taxpayers market. it comes out of the eeoc budget but out of the taxpayers' pockets, and it takes them away from legitimate cases it can be pursuing. we can talk about the law, statutes, and regulations but the murky area of enforcement often gets lost. you could at the best laws in the world but if you have an ag
