I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, I urge all of my colleagues, do not think about party on this vote. Think about precedent. Think about this institution. Think about the Constitution of the United States of America. And if you haven't…
If this is a precedent, it is a bad precedent. It is a dangerous precedent. It is a precedent that we ought not to make. ``Read the Constitution,'' I heard over and over and over again. I have read probably the opinions of 25 lawyers whom…
