The Constitution, in its list of federal powers, includes the ability “to regulate commerce with foreign nations, and among the several states, and with the Indian tribes.”
My friends Reps. Mark Meadows, R-N.C., and Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, opined on Thursday that the time has come for a new person to serve as attorney general.
I disagree with their opinion. I believe Attorney General Jeff Sessions is the right man in the right place at the right time to restore respect in America for the Rule of Law.

The House of Representatives will decide the destiny of the Republican Party and the nation when we select a new speaker.
