I will tell you that I have sat here and listened to some of the 1 minutes from my friends across the aisle, and they are talking about the need for COVID relief. Apparently, to get COVID relief, you have got to have cannabis. You have got to have pot. That is the Democrats' version of COVID relief this week. But they don't feel like they all need to be here to deal with this issue, so they are going to mail it in. They are going to phone in their votes, and, quite frankly, in a most disturbing and unconstitutional manner. Mr. Speaker, we can be here; they should be here. If this meant everything that they say it does, they would show up. They would show up and vote. We could have had committee hearings, for Pete's sakes. We could have committee hearings where we could discuss and debate. We would have floor debates with open rules. And you know what? People would show up. ____________________

Mr. Speaker, this bill actually would help save money by holding monitors responsible, making sure that they are responsible. That is important. When they start talking about $1 billion, remember that just compliance costs and the cost of…

I rise in honor of Yvonne Fedderson, cofounder of Childhelp, a national organization dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child abuse. Yvonne lived an amazing, divinely inspired life. In 1959, Yvonne was in her mid-twenties and in…
