Just yesterday, our friend, Mr. Lieu from California, reminded us that the House Judiciary Committee is responsible for helping to ensure the rule of law.

Bill Barr is doing the Lord's work. Thank God for Bill Barr.

Mr. Chairman, the Building Credit Access for Veterans Act will help put the dream of owning a home or starting a business within reach for more of America's heroes, and I humbly ask for its consideration before this Committee.

We have seen Catholic worshipers targeted in churches, and concerned parents targeted by this DOJ at school board meetings.

For many Americans, this is pushing them toward vehicles that they cannot afford and into vehicles that don't make sense, especially for rural Americans like those in my district.

And one of my concerns is that EPA is driving us down a road where we are going to be dependent upon Chinese cars--not just the minerals, not just the raw materials, not just the processing, but also the cars themselves.

That is a decision that belongs in this committee, the Energy and Commerce Committee.

We can't let California and the Biden administration ban combustion engines, and Preserving People's Freedom to Buy Affordable Vehicles and Fuel Act is the way to stop it.

I am encouraged that the EPA decided to pull back on the eRINs program from the final set proposal...

All Americans deserve the freedom to choose what car they drive...

At the end of the day, this is a national security discussion.

Since when is the United States of America following China's lead?

It is not China. China continues to increase their carbon emissions.

The Biden administration continues to release regulation after regulation to dramatically change transportation and mobility for Americans on a timetable that defies reality.

Ultimately, this forced EV transition will disproportionately burden working-class Americans.

Congress never directed California to dictate America's vehicle emissions and also did not authorize the EPA to force vehicles that the agency does not like off the road.

I don't agree for a moment, and this proposed rule is an affront to representative government.

Americans deserve to have the choice to decide what mode of transportation suits them best.
