On the recordDecember 6, 2017

I support also the section of the judges, but offered an amendment in committee--too many Members weren't there; at least 10 Republicans were gone--to protect congressional Members of Congress in the same way as the judges. We didn't have that opportunity to actually have a hearing on it in the committee--a legitimate one-- and we didn't have an opportunity to bring that amendment to the floor, so I have this apprehension. Mr. Speaker, I urge that we get back to regular order.
