the republican nomination and even in 1999, scalise was quoted as saying, while david duke was unelectablethey shared some consecutive values. once you make a commitment to the group, you're pandering to a racist element in the state. that's heavy, heavy baggage for a party that knows it needs to reach out to minority voters. steve scalise is well-liked in the party. but can they carry that heavy baggage associated with david duke as they try to rebrand and reform the party? as news comes out that he voted against making martin luther king day a holiday in 2004, two decades after ronald reagan made it a federal holiday. these are questions that will cause greater scrutiny. a lot more reporting is being done -- >> guys, in fairness, he's not said he didn't know who david duke is. he said he's met him on several occasions. he's saying he didn't know this group was associated with david duke. and today there was an interesting interview that came out in "the washington post" not too long ago that said that the guy who organized it, david duke was living outside of the united states back then.

but i think in the present climate, to restore it, we would probably need another crisis and an unelected president. i think that the positive things we are describing are a tremendous tribute to president gerald ford. he came into office without a political mandate, without the vote of the american people. toould challenge anybody field a team of cabinet members nelsone president rockefeller like the all-stars he brought in. he brings in governor rockefeller, who had been a leading contender from the liberal republican wing to be president of the united states. many presidents would feel threatened by somebody of that stature. the secretary of state was henry kissinger. transportation, a brilliant lawyer, william coleman, the first african-american clerk on the , john dunlop from m.i.t., the secretary of harvard , elliot richardson came back to the congress department. this was, i think, a testament a quality that i have not goingn presidents since back many years, which is humility. i think our government was founded by formidable men at the a great sense of humility. the first amendmen

the president is using unelected and unaccountable czars to go around congress and the public. his latest executive action shows his presidency is failing and floundering. president obama is not even waiting to try to work with republican congress when the republicans take the majority in january. he's acting on his own right now. in january, republicans in congress will listen to americans and focus on the priorities of the american people. we will hold the obama administration accountable for its destructive overreach. we will listen to people struggling under obama red tape and suffering because of it. we will do everything possible to stop this regulation and help americans have better job opportunities in the future. thank you, mr. president. i yield the floor. i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: quorum call: mr. menendez: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from new jersey. mr. menendez: mr. president, i ask that the quorum call be vitiated. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. menende

fairs that is failing our veterans, senate republicans will conduct aggressive oversight to hold unelected bureaucrats and executive branch political appointees accountable for their actions. finally and most importantly, republicans are going to change the senate's priorities. no longer will the senate's time be tied up with partisan legislation designed to please democrats' far-left constituencies. instead, americans' priorities will be our priorities. jobs, the economy, and the middle class. as even the third-rank democrat in the senate admitted recently, democrats haven't done well on focusing on americans' priorities. the senior senator from new york said, "unfortunately, democrats blew an opportunity the american people gave them. we took their mandate and put all of our focus on the wrong problem: health care reform." well, madam president, republicans don't intend to blow the opportunity the american people have given us. we're going to get right to work on legislation to create jobs, to grow the economy, and to expand opportunities for hardwork being americans. we will take up the

we have an unelected body, the fed, saying, we're going to take action because the elected leaders, elected and accountable to the people of the united states, decided not to or wouldn't take that action. and you go back to the systemic debts that we're running, this president has never proposed a balanced budget. not -- five years out. hasn't said i'm going to get it to tomorrow. we had a saying in louisiana after the explosion, were you hear that help is coming tomorrow, doesn't mean it's coming tomorrow. just mean it's not coming today. i think to your bigger point i'm very worried for a lot of ropes, the dollar -- it's been the reserve currency around the world, and for many reasons the stability during the chaos. many reasons why the fed has been able to get away if with the things they have done, but it's not going to be free forever and the reality is we cannot simply print our way out of this crisis. we cannot borrow and spend and tax our way out of this crisis. what happens when government is running at historically high levels of gdp. that's what happens when we are struggling spe

of iraq and syria unraveling, what chances do you think of the palestinian state with a corrupt unelected leadership is going to cohere for a long time? why would you put your trust in it? so i understand the idea of holding a two-state solution as a vision. but it's a very pretty vision. but a vision is not a policy. i want to know, in view of palestinian agency, and looking palestinian agency in the eye, what is your policy? what is your initiative? where do you go if he's going to go to the u.n. and put sanctions on the icc, he won't come back to the negotiation table if you don't freeze settlements everywhere, and you don't release many murderers from israeli prisons? what's your policy? >> i would say the following. the undermining assumption in what you say, is stone facts, i don't argue with the facts, except i don't accept the idea that, therefore, it's over. i don't think it's true. i definitely don't think it's true. i don't think that the fact that there is a palestinian leadership calls for me to ignore it. all these comments about -- all these arrangements without the palesti

we have got an unelected body. wouldn't take that action. and you go back to the systemic debts that we're running. that doesn't mean helps coming tomorrow. he's not even saying that he will balance the budget tomorrow. i am very worried for a lot of reason reasons it's been the reserve currency. the flight to stability during this world economic chaos, there are many reason ys the fed has been able to get away with some of the things they have done. the reality is we cannot simply print our way out of this crisis. we cannot simply borrow and spend and tax our way out of this. this is what happens when government is running at historically high levels of gdp. we were spending more as a share of our economy than we have had in the last 70 years. defense is the only thing in the constitution that the federal government is told it must do. it's the one power given to the federal government. to your point about this -- >> i am going to jump in. whatever else they are financing, i can assure you it is not an ever expanding industrial complex. may
