“I thank my friend from Texas. I will yield to my friend in California in a moment. I couldn't agree more with respect to the current situation we find ourselves and our country in. A country where we are now talking about vaccine passports, where we are talking about diving into the private affairs of American citizens in the alleged name of health and welfare of the people, we are forgetting that fundamental, core liberty of being free from government coercion. When you go look at the Constitution and when we talk about the President of the United States talking about going door to door--and I know it might have been a rhetorical statement, but you never really know. But when the Constitution contemplates going door to door, it does so only in a couple of contexts: the Census, and then protecting individuals against it, by, in the Third Amendment, preventing the quartering of troops in the homes of American people; by preventing, through the Fourth Amendment, unreasonable search and seizure. That is what was on the minds of the Founders. That was why the Constitution was structured the way it was structured. It wasn't to empower government in the name of something supposedly greater, in the ``common good.'' How many hundreds of millions of people in this world have been slaughtered in the name of the common good? How many? {time} 2140 Let's ask the people of Cuba.…”
