Mr. Speaker, today, I will make the motion regarding H. Res. 630, a motion to condemn and censure the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, Adam Schiff. I am going to let some of my colleagues explain further, but I want to explain to you what the rules are designed to do in the body that we serve in. They are designed to protect the voice and the rights of the minority. That is the way it is. The majority does not need the rules to protect its rights because it has the power to vote at any time what it wants to happen. But we follow rules so that all Americans can be represented, even when they are represented by the minority party. That is not happening today. That is why we have to introduce this motion to censure. No more secret proceedings. No more Soviet-style proceedings. Mr. Speaker, I urge all to vote for my motion to censure. ____________________
