I made a point of order that the gentlewoman's words were unparliamentary and request they be taken down. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Is the gentleman making a demand that the words be taken down?

I request that the gentlewoman's words are unparliamentary and request that they be taken down.

Mr. Nadler has just brought up something that I cannot let pass. Lisette is not only someone who has given service to Mr. Nadler. She has given a great deal of service to this House and to me and to my staff personally. She will be missed…

I will inquire through the Chair, does the gentleman have any more speakers?

I will reiterate. I know our staffs have talked. If he actually needs it, I will be happy to yield some time, if he happens to need it. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

The attacks on 9/11, designed to murder as many innocent people as possible, were acts of war against the United States. It resulted in the deaths of almost 3,000 people and left a smoldering pile of toxic debris in New York. But thousands…

It is my privilege to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from New York (Mr. King).

As a son of a state trooper and as someone who also has served as a chaplain to police agencies and our first responders, this is a very important bill to me. I cannot think of a better Member from our side of the aisle who supported this…

I appreciate the gentleman from Colorado and also the gentlewoman from California, but, Mr. Speaker, I rise today, and I am in reluctant opposition to H.R. 1044. This is not something I would like to be, but this bill could be better. In…

I agree with everything the gentleman just said. This is a good bill. It needs to happen. These locations are different, and since 1948, the State of Arizona has changed. Mr. Speaker, I encourage everyone to vote ``yes'' on this bill, and…

So I will be reluctantly standing here against a bill that I inherently agree with. In fact, the speakers who have spoken already, I agree with, and the speakers who are going to come forward, I agree with them, except for one thing: Don't…

I am ready to close. Again, it is a great bill. You have heard the accolades of the gentleman and gentlewoman from Pennsylvania. They have made that case clear, along with my friends from Texas and California. This is a good bill, I urge…

Yes, we have the right to pass a bill here in the House, as the gentleman just said. But we have the right to actually pass a good bill, not a political stunt. Why should we do this? I remember back in 2014--we are getting nostalgic in…

I will end with this. Some people will come down here tonight and vote, and they are going to feel good about themselves, Madam Speaker. But I will tell my colleagues this, and I have said it before from this well: What makes them feel…

Those rules provide an exception for Members to bring civil action challenging the lawfulness of an action of a Federal agency or an action of a Federal official taken in an official capacity provided that the action concerns a matter of…

The gentleman from Georgia continues that parliamentary inquiry, then, because it is an issue that needs to be addressed. It should not have been said on this floor. Mr. Speaker, with that, I reserve the balance of my time.

I inquire how much time is remaining for both sides. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia has 7\1/4\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from California has 21\1/4\ minutes remaining.

I agree with the gentleman, the speaker, Mr. Cicilline. I agree with him that we need to fix this, but this is not the way to fix this. There is a bipartisan way to fix this, and this simply just gives a green light. It is a powerful…

Is it not true that this House is run on parliamentary language that is not consistent with what was just used? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair will continue to enforce the rules of decorum. The gentleman from Georgia is recognized.

I would remind the gentlewoman from Texas that, as Americans, we also have rule of law. We stand for that and have wanted to fix the DACA situation, not just give a green light to continue a problem on the border that we are continually…

Derogatory statements toward the President; also, that was impugning the integrity of the President. I think that is much more beyond what was actually warned about, and I would ask the Parliamentarian for a ruling on that. The SPEAKER pro…

Here we go again. Now, it may not matter to anyone else here, but the Members who wear pins understand that parliamentary language is important and what rules this floor. ``Xenophobic'' is another word being used on this floor about the…

The parliamentary inquiry would say that that statement, as quoted, ``a racist rant'' is an attack on the President, implying he is a racist. Is that not true? Which is contrary-- The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair continues to remind…

It is my privilege to yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr. Reschenthaler), another member of the Judiciary Committee.

May I inquire as to how much time each side has remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Georgia has 7\1/4\ minutes remaining. The gentlewoman from California has 9\1/2\ remaining.
