Patricia Schroeder: “Let me ask a few questions about your amendment, because I really think this amendment goes much further than the bill…”

On the recordMarch 6, 1995
Let me ask a few questions about your amendment, because I really think this amendment goes much further than the bill, if I am reading it correctly. The way I read the sanctions section on page 2 is that you oppose the sanction on the verifier of the complaint and the attorney of record, and it says 'shall.' So my understanding is you are putting them both in the loop for a frivolous lawsuit; is that correct? ... I do trust to the trial judge to enter an appropriate order of sanctions potentially on the party and the party's attorney.

I just wanted to respond that in the Wright case it took 2 weeks to get a special counsel, and in the Gingrich case we talked about 15 months. I think there is a great difference. Thank you.

I find that fairly astonishing, that they tell us we can go outside and talk about it, but we cannot talk about it on the floor.
