Mr. Speaker, in reviewing this censure measure, I am reminded of Will Rogers' quip: ``I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.'' This month, despite the pressing needs of the American people, we have spent a week and a half arguing about gas stoves. Next week it will be about toaster ovens. Today, we are voting on a joke of a measure to censure Adam Schiff, a true public servant and patriot. I urge a strong ``no'' against this resolution targeting a true American hero.
