@royblunt· Republican · MO· Nov 17, 2021

Today I rise because, in light of recent events, I no longer feel like I can stay silent. The hypocrisy of this body considering the censuring and stripping of committee assignments of Representative Gosar is illustrative of the inability…

We have seen a circus here for the last 7 hours. We saw history: The longest vote held in this body in modern history, a motion to adjourn, just so some backroom agreement could be made. This point of order, the whole purpose of it, is to…

On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 215, nays 212, not voting 7, as…

I raise a point of order against consideration of the resolution because the resolution waives all points of order against consideration of H.R. 5376. The resolution is therefore in violation of section 426 of the Unfunded Mandates Reform…

I thank the gentleman for his insightful remarks. I really appreciate his comments. Pouring more money into the economy just adds to inflation. If we go back and look at the comments by the CBO when they scored the bill back in February, a…

I certainly thank the gentleman from New Jersey for his remarks and reminding us that inflation is a tax as well. I think we need to remember that when we go to the gas pump. Last January I was able to get it for $1.89. On Monday I filled…

Mr. President, reserving the right to object. I understand that multiple of my colleagues have objections to all of the nominees that the Senator from New Jersey is going to offer this evening. So I will be here to object on their behalf…
