It is wrong. It is time the Judiciary Committee did its job and focused on the issues that matter to the American people.

Maybe we would be better served, Mr. Chair, if the full Judiciary Committee would have a hearing, just any hearing.

For 4 years there was no letup in trying to overturn the 2016 election.

Somehow, Republicans, Mr. Chair, aren't allowed to object to Pennsylvania? Aren't allowed to object to Pennsylvania where they changed the law unconstitutionally in three different ways?

Mr. Raskin, the lead impeachment manager, can object to Florida in 2017, and Maxine Waters, Chair of the House Financial Services Committee, can object to Wyoming, a State that President Trump won by 40 points.

These same Democrats spent 4 years accusing President Trump of colluding with Russia, allegations we knew at the time were false and now the whole country knows are completely false.

Chair Cohen went on television and accused--without evidence--Congressman Boebert of helping criminals storm the Capitol--without a bit of evidence.

Chair Lofgren's report is a 2,000-page political opposition dossier put together at taxpayer expense.

Democrats in the House, like Chair Lofgren, are putting together reports that attack Republicans, over 140 Republicans.

Smart, effective action would be to get control of our border as the Ranking Member, Mr. Biggs, highlighted in his opening statement.

First, it was Kermit the Frog and The Muppets and Mr. Potato Head, then now Dr. Seuss. But don`t forget, they also came after you guys. They came after Fox News, One American news and Newsmax too. So this is frightening where the left…

I have said, I think this is the biggest threat to freedom we face.

Senator Scott had legislation, good legislation, but the Democrats wouldn't take it up; they filibustered. Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Gohmert).

The chairman of the committee has said several times that Democrats are not for defunding the police, but I would just point out the individual presiding over this session said that defunding the police is not a slogan, it is a policy…

I will just point out that the Speaker of the House said we should respect the police, but the Speaker of the House named an individual to conduct a review of the breach of the Capitol on January 6, and that individual has insulted the…

The last statement was ridiculous, and I continue to reserve the balance of my time.

I don't think anyone uses God. We have just cited what is in the legislation, which specifically says the Religious Freedom Restoration Act shall not provide a defense against what this bill is doing. That is all we have done. Mr. Speaker…

I would just point out that a few speakers ago, the gentleman from Maryland used the term ``religious garb.'' A physician's conscience, a physician's faith, which compels him or her not to take the life of an unborn child is not religious…

To discuss one kind of extremism and look the other way on another, as the Democrats are trying to do today and have been doing for almost a year, frankly, dishonest, and it`s wrong.

We had an election, it was all a charade, it was all part of the predicate for laying the groundwork for the mail and balloting and all the chaos and confusion the Democrats wanted.

What I have witnessed here in the last several months is every big platform working at the same time to ban people from their platform, specifically the former President of the United States.

If, in fact, they are broken up, it seems to me we would still need the overhaul of 230, because there is nothing to prohibit platforms from engaging in the same kind of behavior we see now with discriminatory action against conservatives.

If platforms are to continue to undermine the First amendment and other liberties that Americans enjoy, section 230 protection should go away.

I want them to stop censoring conservatives. I want them to stop censoring speech. I want them to embrace the First Amendment.

This cancel culture is so dangerous and we have to push back. This is the number one issue for the country to address today.
