Political Quotes

“Mr. Speaker, I rise today in support of our Federal judiciary and the judges who work tirelessly to uphold and defend our democracy. The hypocrisy that we are seeing unfold among our colleagues across the aisle and in this administration is deeply concerning. The separation of powers is a cornerstone of our democracy. Each and every day Federal judges work as a check on the powers of both the legislative and executive branches, regardless of who is in charge. This is a good thing and something each and every one of us should be working to protect. Instead, our colleagues across the aisle are seeking to impeach Federal judges, calling for unprecedented changes to our judicial system, and trampling on the most basic and fundamental tenets of our Constitution. How much more hypocritical can they be? The Biden administration faced 133 multistate lawsuits from Republican attorneys general. Texas Attorney General Paxton alone filed over 100 lawsuits against the Biden administration. Republicans are now seeking to undermine and attack the same judiciary they used to take the Biden administration to court, and they are personally attacking judges whose decisions they disagree with. Mr. Speaker, I urge everyone to stand against this reckless attack on our judiciary. ____________________”
