Charles Rangel: “I just don't know what part of the Constitution the gentleman doesn't understand, but the truth of the matter is that…”

“I just don't know what part of the Constitution the gentleman doesn't understand, but the truth of the matter is that this law passed the House of Representatives, passed the Senate, was signed into law, and verified by the United States Supreme Court, and still we hear people yelling at the darkness that we should repeal it. Now, there are ways to do these things, but one thing is abundantly clear: the way we have been going about this, the 52 parliamentary opportunities that the House has had, this doesn't work. And so if you tried something 51 times, it would seem to me, unless somebody is putting something in the water on the other side of the aisle, that we will try something else like try to repair it, try to fix it, try in a bipartisan way to see where we agree that changes could be made to make it easier for employers and employees. But this barking at the Moon, to me, is just a waste of taxpayers' money and time. How many speakers do we have, and how much time do we have remaining, Mr. Speaker? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Hultgren). The gentleman from New York has 62 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Indiana has 64 minutes remaining.”
