Speaker Johnson said he was a wartime Speaker and was a child of the eighties influenced by Reagan who went to the Berlin Wall and said: ``Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall.'' I am a child of the sixties and John Kennedy, and I heard him…

This is not too much. We should all be able to support this just as 77 of us did in 2020. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Florida.

Mr. President, I ask for the yeas and nays. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The yeas and nays have been called for. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be a sufficient second. The clerk will call the roll. The senior assistant…

Mr. President, in 2020, 77 Members of this body voted for this amendment, and I would love to see the same result today. According to the IG report following the Crossfire Hurricane investigation, there were a lot of FBI employees who…

Mr. President, I call up my amendment No. 1840, and I ask that it be reported by number. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The senior assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Utah [Mr. Lee] proposes an…

Thank you. I am glad to hear that we will be having votes tomorrow. We need votes tomorrow, for some of the reasons that I am discussing. We shouldn't fear those votes. There is a great song by Blue Oyster Cult: ``(Don't Fear) the…

So we need a probable cause warrant requirement. Now, all of the sky-is-falling predictions about why that would be so bad to have a probable cause warrant requirement is really not addressing the facts here. Look, I think we would have…
