“Free speech is meaningless unless it tolerates the speech that we hate.”

- Henry Hyde

“There are so many women on the floor of Congress, it looks like a mall.”

- Henry Hyde

“In creating a presidential system, the framers invested that office with extraordinary powers. If those powers are not exercised within the boundaries of the rule of law, if the president breaks the law by perjury and obstructs justice by willfully corrupting the legal system, that president must be removed from office. We cannot have one law for the ruler and another law for the ruled. This was once broadly understood in our land. If that understanding is lost or if it becomes seriously eroded, the American democratic experiment and the freedom it guarantees is in jeopardy”.

- Henry Hyde
