In the end, and in conclusion, Mr. Chairman, it is the people who decide the division between the three branches of government. And I think they need to declare war on the enemies of the Constitution.

I thank the gentleman from Texas for yielding and for leading around this Nation on this issue. So far away from Texas as even Iowa, the gentleman from Texas has fought for the full 100 percent repeal of ObamaCare and laid out, I think, a…

I thank the gentleman from Texas. Because we want to elect a President who will take the oath on January 20, 2017, to sign the repeal of ObamaCare at the podium on the west portico of the Capitol as the very first act of the next President…

the point of securing the border if we are going to be there to be the welcome mat is significantly diminished by the policies of this Administration, would you agree?

I thank the gentlewoman from Florida for organizing this Special Order, and I associate myself with her words and her position and also that of the gentleman from Florida (Mr. DeSantis). I didn't, Mr. Speaker, realize how much was in him…

I also want to thank my colleague, Ms. Lofgren, and a good number of others for their bipartisan cooperation on this bill that is before us.

Congress has both the constitutional authority to act and the duty to use that authority to expand public access to our courts.

I thank you and our Ranking Member, both the full and the Subcommittee, for the opportunity to bring this bill, H.R. 917, the 'Sunshine in the Courtroom Act of 2013,' before this hearing today.

I thank the witnesses for your testimony and your patience for us to come back to this hearing after our votes on the floor.
