Reserving the right to object, I served as an economic regulator of utilities for nearly 10 years before coming to Congress. This idea of a moratorium--a national moratorium--violates all kinds of things, not the least of which, by the…

Mr. President, I rise today in support of the nomination of Judge Amy Coney Barrett to be an Associate Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court. Before I begin, I would be remiss if I didn't acknowledge the reason for this vacancy. Justice Ruth…

Mr. President, I rise today to honor former U.S. Senator from North Dakota, Mark Andrews, who passed away earlier this month at the age of 94. Mark was a good friend, a strong leader, and a dedicated public servant. It is appropriate that…

People are going to remember these folks as totally complicit, as people who did not stand up for their state or stand up for American values.

Mr. President, I would like to thank the Senator from Arkansas again for his diligence and hard work, and our Ag chairman. I just want to wrap up with some thank-yous, as well, and it starts with our Ag chairman, not only for his…

Mr. Chairman, I also want to add Terry Van Doren to that list, who is here this morning on the floor. He worked tirelessly and stood firm in the negotiations. So, Terry, thank you to you as well. And, again, the final word, though, has to…
