And becoming less dependent on Middle Eastern oil is all about these very energy bills, that, again, we have shown consistent leadership on just in the 6 months that we've been in the majority. I go to the gas pump. I pump gas in my car. I know how much it costs. I'm in the grocery store. I see the rising costs of food as it relates to these energy costs. And yet again today we see the President dip into our oil reserves, which should be for emergencies, yet we're using it for politics at a time when this country must become less dependent on Middle Eastern oil. I yield to the gentleman from Colorado.

Were a judge to specify the nature of every recusal explicitly... the effect could be to expose personal information needlessly about the litigant and/or prejudice the litigant before the judge's colleagues.
