Mike Johnson

I appreciate that, Mr. Cicilline. And I was going to make a request of my colleagues and friends on the other side as well to put country over party also.

Now, the Constitution vests all executive authority in the President.

He exercised authority clearly granted to him by the Constitution.

The first article charges the President with the made-up crime of abuse of office.

This has been a truly extraordinary and historically unprecedented hearing. It has, frankly, been an outrageous violation of due process.

Where is the list of rules?

What are the rules? What are the objections that we're able to make?

Under Resolution 660, we're supposed to follow the Federal rules of evidence. Is that right?

House Democrats have been working to impeach President Donald J. Trump since the day he took his oath of office.

This whole production is a sham and a reckless path to a predetermined political outcome.

The facts before us are undisputed. Of course, everyone here knows that that's simply not true.

I think that is highly offensive, whether it is due process or not, as a technical matter.

The Department is committed to preventing and eliminating all forms of harassing conduct and to transforming our workplace culture so our employees feel safe, respected, and valued.

Chairman Cox, Ranking Member Gohmert, good morning, and thank you for holding this hearing on this important topic and inviting me to update you on the progress that the Department has made and continues to make on the issue of sexual…

I'm concerned about the 2020 election, especially considering the insecurity of our voting machines.

Don't interpret the empty chairs on either side as lack of interest.

As I have said at previous hearings of this subcommittee, we all agree that discriminatory treatment in voting based on race or sex is abhorrent.

While he and I rarely agreed on matters of public policy, I just want to tell you I always found him to personally be a man of great sincerity and decency and integrity.

And the amendment to that language would be a pretty simple statute, wouldn't it? It would just be a couple of lines, right?

The bill we will be discussing today, H.R. 4, would prevent States from enforcing their neutral voting rights laws.

Disparate impacts are not proof of discrimination.

Discriminatory treatment in voting based on race or sex is abhorrent.

I am so grateful that we have sheepdogs in our society. That is our law enforcement officers, military, and first responders.

We have a fiduciary and a moral responsibility to save that which has been broken in the service of our communities.

First responders have about a five times the rate of PTSD occurrence than the general population?
