Scott Walker: “I thank Representative Black and appreciate her heartfelt words. Mr. Speaker, in nearly a year of holding the majority…”

“I thank Representative Black and appreciate her heartfelt words. Mr. Speaker, in nearly a year of holding the majority, the President has only vetoed three of our bills. In fact, only once, I believe, he has had to do that in the last 8 months. Politico, back in February, published this prediction: ``Though Obama's three vetoes are thus far a record low...experts expect Obama's final 2 years to be packed with high-profile veto showdowns.'' That hasn't happened. My next friend and colleague who would like to share a little bit of his heart is someone I have grown to admire and respect. I am privileged to serve with him on the Homeland Security Committee where just a few months ago, I heard one of the more powerful 5- or 6-minute talks that I have heard since I have been here in Congress in which he was willing to stand up for the Family Research Council and Tony Perkins against the tax from the Southern Poverty Law Center-- specifically the President--who had put them on a hate list. In fact, I am going to yield him a little bit of leeway so he may share some things that may be a little bit in context but that may be a little bit off as well. It is my privilege to introduce and to hear from a great Congressman from South Carolina, Representative Jeff Duncan.”
