Let me tell a quick story. Some years ago, we subpoenaed information from the Department of Justice. The Attorney General himself, then Eric Holder, came before me both in committee and personally up to and including the moment in which he…

I wish that the gentleman would come with me. On Monday night, I will have more than two dozen of the family members for dinner after votes, and you are invited. My treat. The fact is, those unanswered questions are not because voluminous…

I want to associate myself with the ranking member's statements. I have served, as long as I have served, with the gentleman from New York. Mr. Nadler has been a leader on this, and this is a bipartisan issue, one that each year we are…

When I received my current district in redistricting, I was pleased that it was a border district, all along the Mexican border from the Tijuana area all the way through the rest of the county. It isn't a border area today. There is no…

I spoke on this a year or two ago, and not much has happened except more time has passed since this land was taken from this Tribe. I represent 21 Tribes in my congressional district. I believe that when I come to the floor, people look…

Listening to the initial debate here, you would believe that there was a legitimate difference of opinion here on the floor about protecting the Justices. Clearly, there was no such difference in the U.S. Senate. What there is, though, is…

To say I yield myself such time as I may consume is too short to recap these 2 days of the assault on the Second Amendment. I will only say, in closing, that it might seem reasonable in this bill--these five or six or seven different bills…

I join with the chairman in support of all of the changes that were added in the Senate, they were thoughtful, and I believe not just appropriate but necessary. I don't want to pile on the same statements made already because they were…

Don Young has 50 years of stories, and I will tell you just one in 20 seconds. Madam Speaker, Don Young, faced with a young Member wanting to affect bypass mail in Alaska, could have dressed me down and told me over his dead body. Instead…
