Political Quotes

“Mr. Chairman, this amendment No. 267 is an amendment that is narrowed in its scope in anticipation of the point of order that was raised by the gentlelady from Connecticut, and I can't help but reflect on what it must have been like before in this body before the invention of television. But my Amendment No. 267 says this in pertinent part: ``No funds made available by this act may be used to carry out the provisions of ObamaCare.'' So what this does is, for the appropriations that go on outside of the scope of this continuing resolution, we have lost that point of order. But this amendment goes to those funds that are appropriated within it, down the exact same path as the Rehberg amendment, except it goes to the outside of the particular Department of Health and Human Services as the narrower scope of the Rehberg amendment. So this goes broader than just HHS, but it does go directly to shutting off all funds within this CR that would be used to enforce or implement ObamaCare. I have made my arguments, Mr. Chairman, on that. I reserve the balance of my time. Ms. DeLAURO. Mr. Chairman, I rise in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Connecticut is recognized for 5 minutes. Ms. DeLAURO. I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Murphy).”
