I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, the Democrats called this bill a joke. It is not a joke to put back in place the policies that worked. In fact, I would call that common sense. Remember what happened on day 1 of the Biden…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Chair, the government is not allowed to get your information without a warrant. They are not allowed to do it. Even if they buy it, they are not allowed to do it. That is all this thing says. It…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The yeas and nays were ordered. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to clause 9 of rule XX, this 5- minute vote on passage of H.R. 4639 will be followed by 5-minute votes on: Passage of H.R. 6046; Passage…

I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Frankly, in the House it is rare today that we have an issue that doesn't break on party lines, and privacy, unfortunately, isn't unanimous. The Fourth Amendment is clear that if the government wants…

I will close by saying I think the case is clear. I appreciate Mr. Nadler for working with me. I thank Senator Wyden and Senator Lee for being champions of this on the Senate side. I thank the unusual cohort of colleagues here. We have Zoe…

I encourage all of my colleagues to support this bill. We all swore an oath to support and defend the Constitution. The Fourth Amendment does not say that if you have nothing to hide, you have nothing to fear. It says as an American, you…

I rise early this evening to recognize D. Taylor, a fierce labor advocate, a key partner in our fight for workers in this country, a friend who retired from his role as President of UNITE HERE earlier this month. Everything D. has…

if you want to propose a rule that creates more problems than it solves, I do worry about what the Biden Administration is doing there.
