Political Quotes

On the recordMarch 9, 2017
Mr. Chairman, even if we included motions to dismiss in the stay, which are at the beginning of the case because they are dispositive motions, there are still motions to strike that are left in this bill. After surviving a motion to dismiss, motions to strike are regularly filed. Anybody who has had any time in the courtroom know they can be filed over and over and over again. There is no limit of them under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. So simply by filing motion to strike after motion to strike, a defendant can continue to delay justice; and justice delayed is justice denied. Mr. Chairman, I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. Speaker, I was unable to vote today due to unforeseen personal circumstances. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 272 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 273. ____________________
