WASHINGTON, DC – Senator James Lankford (R-OK) Monday released the following statement after the Senate voted on several security and gun-related amendments to the FY17 Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations bill (HR 2578):
“Keeping guns out of the hands of terrorists and protecting the constitutional rights of law-abiding Americans to defend themselves is not mutually exclusive. My colleagues and I have all taken an oath of office to protect and defend our nation, as well as protect and defend the Constitution, including Second Amendment rights, which should never be removed without due process. Unfortunately, two of the amendments that were considered today would remove the constitutional rights of Americans without adequate protections.
A ‘Liberal Journalist’ on assignment from Esquire was sent to ask people living along the border what they want done to stop the flow of illegal immigrants.
The typically liberal magazine doesn’t post their most recent issue online, but does send editors to interview (promote print sales) with other traditional media. A clip is included in this story of the magazine’s editor-in-chief, Jay Fielden, on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”
Host Joe Scarborough referred to the writer as a “liberal journalist” and Fielden said he instructed the reporter to “go down there with no preconceived notions, just an empty notebook.”
Oklahoma Senator Jim Inhofe
WASHINGTON – U.S. Sen. Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), chairman of the U.S. Senate Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, delivered the following opening statement today at a hearing entitled, Implications of the Supreme Court Stay of the Clean Power Plan.
As Prepared for Delivery:
We are here today to talk about the status of the Clean Power Plan in the wake of a historic decision from the Supreme Court of the United States to stay the rule.
The stakes are high when it comes to the Power Plan. An agency charged with protecting human health and the environment is attempting to restructure the entire energy system on imagined legal authority in a manner that will cost billions of dollars, is based on unreasonable assumptions, will increase energy bills, puts grid reliability at risk, and have no impact on the environment.
