Quote – Representative Thomas Werdel (R-CA), who would run as Vice-President of the States’ Rights Party in 1956. House Committee on Education and Labor.

But if the only purpose is to set up something that you say is going to be another police force, like they had in Germany and Russia, to inspect other policemen…then I say we are wasting our time.
