QOTD: "Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it." – Mark Twain

Bonus QOTD: "Because the president has failed to lead on this matter, your group has secretly met for months and not consulted with members of this Committee about major changes to our nation’s immigration laws. The time for transparency has come. Given the Majority’s rushed timetable, we believe it is time for you to discuss the status of your negotiations, disclose what concessions have been made, and provide details to members of the Judiciary Committee as well as the entire Republican Caucus." --Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA)
