I want to join my colleague from Florida in apologizing to you that some of our colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives seem to want to drag your name through the mud.

Dr. Fauci did not fund research through the EcoHealth Alliance grant that caused the COVID-19 pandemic.

He did not fund research to create the COVID-19 pandemic.

You have devoted your life to fighting infectious diseases for the American people.

Those are all assaults on democratic norms and democratic processes.

We've seen so many lawless assaults on our democracy, whether it's voting rights whether it is the rights of women to choose their own destiny and their own medical privacy issues.

I do want to see that the rule of law works and is vindicated against these incessant, outrageous attacks on the rule of law.

Every time he's gotten in really serious trouble, it's been because he's tried to shake down the Ukrainian President Zelenskyy to try to set up Joe Biden and lie about Joe Biden or, you know, here in this case, he wanted to pay hush money…

We need to mobilize the vast majority that voted for Joe Biden in 2020 and expand that with all of these millions of young new voters in America to fight for a future that's befitting the greatest multicultural, multi religious…

I felt some relief and vindication for the rule of law.

But what the Supreme Court has said is that this is an objective test, not a question of subjective introspection and will on the part of the particular judge.

So there are several cases that I talked about in this op-ed the Supreme Court considers this matter of ethics, not just this discrete and esoteric field. This is constitutional. It goes right to the right of due process.

the ABA ethics rules governing recusal... specify that justices must pay attention both to the reality and the appearance of their spouse's potential financial and personal conflicts of interests, as well as their own.

What does that say to the parties before them?

It's their ability to influence the other justices as well, which is so problematic.

I thank my friend from Louisiana for a very substantive and dignified debate on this subject, which I know attracts strong views across the aisle. I want to restate some essential points for people to keep in mind. One is that what we are…

I am sorry that the gentleman from New Jersey has left the Chamber because I could reassure and console him very quickly. It is against the law for noncitizens to vote in Federal elections. That is embodied in Federal statute, and it is a…

Just a couple of quick points about the distinguished gentleman's remarks. First after all, what we are talking about is making a Federal decision or a congressional decision for a locality. The gentleman's native Texas had noncitizen…

I thank the gentlewoman for her trenchant remarks. She makes an excellent point. Washington, D.C., is the only National Capital on the planet Earth disenfranchised in its own legislature, which is the vulnerability that is being exploited…

I quote Justice Scalia on what the very distinguished gentleman from California just described as a radical practice: In general, noncitizen voting ``has been open, widespread, and unchallenged since the early days of the Republic.'' What…

May I inquire as to how much time I have remaining. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Maryland has 3\1/2\ minutes remaining.

With every passing day, the consequences of climate change grow in intensity.

Climate change is the defining crisis of our time, and we know that burning fossil fuels is, by far, the leading factor in contributing to climate change.

The ex-President just went before a whole bunch of oil and gas executives and essentially demanded that they give his campaign a billion dollars.

As Secretary of Energy, do you think climate denialism is dangerous to the future of our country?
