Mr. President, I rise today to speak on an issue that has shaken the moral compass of our society. The phrase ``it's a boy'' is one we often use when celebrating new life. Instead, this was spoken by a Planned Parenthood employee as the…

Mr. President, the question before us today is clear: Who do we want to be as a nation? It is hard for anyone to defend these morally reprehensible videos as Planned Parenthood callously harvested the organs of unborn babies to be sold at…

OK. I want to reserve the right to object, and I will object. I would like to make a few comments on the pace of judicial nominations. First of all, during President Obama's Presidency thus far the Senate has confirmed 313 judicial…

Mr. President, I would agree to that, and I will speak to that point right now. It is very appropriate that my colleague would know exactly what I was going to say to answer his question.

Mr. President, the Senator from New York gave very good words that I want to follow up on. He said that we were promised when Republicans took over we said things would be different in governing. They are different. I would just like to…

With respect to the judges on the Executive Calendar, everybody knows at the end of last year the Senate rammed through 11 judges, which under regular order--and regular order is very important in the U.S. Senate--should have been…

Before I speak about reserving the right to object, I would like to have the floor immediately after the Senator from New York gives up the floor, if I could. Is there any objection to that? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is…

Madam President, I often come to the floor to honor whistleblowers but more importantly to talk about their very important role in making government function. On July 30, 1778, the Continental Congress passed the very first whistleblower…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. Supreme Court Decisions

Mr. President, I come to the floor to give my analysis of the last year of Supreme Court decisions. There is a misconception that our Supreme Court is conservative, but in the term that just ended, the Supreme Court upheld a key provision…

We are between a rock and a hard place right now. Most certainly.

This will be one of the most significant votes that we take as members of Congress, moving forward.

I am very concerned regarding the Government's ability to detect, deter, and defeat cyber attacks on our Government, particularly by China, Russia, and Iran.

I think it's wise to remember that all of us that serve in the Senate probably have constituents and families in our States that have members that were killed overseas as a direct result from those EFPs.

Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to be able to address you here on the floor of the House of Representatives and to speak some words here that hopefully will be picked up by the rest of the country that causes us to think a little more…

Mr. Speaker, I move that the House do now adjourn. The motion was agreed to; accordingly (at 8 o'clock and 41 minutes p.m.), under its previous order, the House adjourned until tomorrow, Wednesday, July 29, 2015, at 10 a.m. for…

The next piece that I want to talk about is our national security. As we are watching presidential debates unfold--and our 16 or so candidates that are announced for President of the United States, I am grateful for every one of them. I…

Madam Speaker, I appreciate this bill coming to the floor. I hear this discussion, and it seems to me there is a consistent theme that the people on the other side of the aisle are opposed to bringing leverage to political subdivisions to…
