No, it doesn't. The previous speaker said when this bill becomes law, it will stop some of the mass shootings-- all of the mass shootings that happen in this country. No, it won't. Nothing in this bill would prohibit, would have stopped…
The previous speaker used the term ``reasonable.'' This legislation shifts the burden, so you are now telling an American citizen the burden is on you to exercise your Second Amendment liberties. They deny the background check, deny you…
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…
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).
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 gentlewoman just said that there was no defunding of the police. I would just point out Democrat-controlled cities around the country: Austin, Texas, $150 million cut; Baltimore, Maryland, $22 million; Boston, $12 million; Burlington…
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…
Which is it? For 3 months, the Democrats told us the 2020 election was fine. There was no need for an investigation. It was flawless. But, today, they tell us we need to change election law with an 800-page bill. Think about it. We need…
The last statement was ridiculous, and I continue to reserve the balance of my time.
On that I demand the yeas and nays. The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 8, the yeas and nays are ordered. The vote was taken by electronic device, and there were--yeas 224, nays 206, not voting 2, as…
I reserve the balance of my time. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio has 30 seconds remaining. The gentleman from New York has 1 minute remaining.
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 include in the Record a statement from the Log Cabin Republicans opposing the legislation on the floor today. LCR's official statement: As part of the Democrats' hard shift to the left, they continue to trample on the rights and freedoms…
Could I inquire about the amount of time remaining on each side? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio has 16\1/2\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New York has 19\3/4\ minutes remaining.
Can I inquire about the amount of time left for each side? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Ohio has 8\3/4\ minutes remaining. The gentleman from New York has 11 minutes remaining.
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…
I will read from the bill, page 25 of their legislation. The previous speaker, Madam Speaker, is just flat-out wrong. Here is what it says: The Religious Freedom Restoration Act shall not--shall not--provide a claim or a defense to a claim…
I want them to stop censoring conservatives. I want them to stop censoring speech. I want them to embrace the First Amendment.
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.
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.
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.
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.
If platforms are to continue to undermine the First amendment and other liberties that Americans enjoy, section 230 protection should go away.
this cancel culture is so dangerous and we have to push back. This is the number one issue for the country to address today.
