I like coming to the Rules Committee because you all are in-person, because I can look around the room and see facial expressions.

I continue to believe that what we did saved lives. I think it was a responsible thing to do.

You abdicate a lot of our input, our authority as Members of Congress, elected Members of Congress.

The point of the matter is there are rules, believe it or not, that accompanied the measures that we took here.
