We have the right, but I do not believe we have the right, given the fact that the Bill of Rights postdates the grant of the jurisdiction-setting authority in the Constitution, I do not think we have the right to take away from the Supreme…
The gentleman is commenting and his entire speech was about the desirability or the worth of the words ``under God,'' which I think almost everybody agrees with. The issue in this bill is court-stripping. Do we take away from the courts…
I will yield to Ms. Jackson-Lee for a unanimous consent request, and then you have your speaker, and I will close for my side and you close for yours. Let me ask how much time we have left at this point. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr…
Mr. Speaker I yield 3\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Delahunt).
Since the committee had the same language in last year's report, do we have any reason to expect the FBI will, in fact, change the fee structure this year?
I observe the gentleman tells us that President Bush assures us of the problem of frivolous lawsuits. President Bush assured us there were weapons of mass destruction in Iraq and a lot of other nonsense. So I do not give that too much…
I must say the gentleman's logic is impeccable, and I think the gentleman has convinced me to vote for the resolution despite what I said before. My question is this: According to principles of this resolution and of the draft legislation…
I just want to make sure before I start that we have the amended amendment that says $5 million, not $10 million.
Reclaiming my time, I was going to add that I want to thank the gentleman from Michigan (Mr. Knollenberg) and the gentleman from Massachusetts (Mr. Olver) for their cooperation, and the gentleman from Connecticut (Mr. Shays) and the…
A NSL, unlike an administrative subpoena, is not the target of the inquiry and has no interest in contesting or refusing it.
There are no abuses we know of because they are all secret and they cannot tell us about abuses. Mr. Chairman, I yield 1\1/2\ minutes to the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Kucinich).
I seek recognition on a question of personal privilege pursuant to rule IX of the rules of the House. I have placed at the desk the documentation on which this question is based. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. LaTourette). On the basis of…
Not seeing the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson-Lee), I thank the chairman of the Committee on the Judiciary for filing the corrected report, and I yield back the balance of my time. ____________________
I would like to ask if the distinguished chairman wishes to repeat his tactic of last week of waiting until everybody else has spoken and then mischaracterize what we have said so that we cannot reply to him. Is that his intent today? Is…
Is it his intent to let anybody on this side speak after he has spoken even if he closes?
I never said that. I said it did not come up with respect to my amendments. The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mr. Simpson). The gentleman from Georgia controls the time.
This amendment, rather this section which we are trying to eliminate, is not focused on terrorism. It does not focus on terrorism. It does not focus on terrorists. All it does is put up additional bars to all asylum seekers, legitimate…
I agree with the gentleman. To quote Joseph Cirincione, the Director for Nonproliferation of the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, the author of the book ``Deadly Arsenals & Tracking Weapons of Mass Destruction,'' we should be…
The only justification for going to war against another country, with the possible exception if it is committing genocide, is self-protection: to protect the United States, to protect our own people, to protect our friends and allies…
Well, I do not remember the exact date, but people were talking about this commission not long after 9/11. And, in fact, in early 2002 they were doing it. In July 2002, I quoted this before, the administration issued a statement of policy…
Yes, indeed. The Chairman, Governor Kean, and the vice chairman, former ranking member Hamilton, stressed that we are in a war; we are in a very serious war with terrorists, and speed is of the essence, and we should do this now. We should…
That is correct. It was President Bush, Vice President Cheney and the Republican leadership in both Houses of Congress who steadfastly opposed the creation of that Commission and eventually bowed to pressure coming from Democratic leaders…
Well, I do not know because President Bush flip-flops. So maybe he is referring to President Bush after he decided to support it. The gentleman from Texas (Mr. DeLay) flip-flops, and maybe he is referring to himself. Maybe he is referring…
Mr. Speaker, reference was made before to the Daschle court-stripping bill. There was no such thing. His bill did not court-strip. In fact, in the case of Biodiversity Associates v. Cables, his bill was judged constitutional. If the courts…
Mr. Speaker, over 60 years ago, at a time of panic and insecurity, this country committed a great wrong against people of Japanese, Italian and German background. Several years ago, the United States apologized for this, voted monetary…
