We created this court. We can dissolve this court. We can determine the funding for this court. The fact of the matter is that we have a situation right now where judges abuse their power, plain and simple. The D.C. Circuit Court and the D.C. District Court are the locus of that abuse. In particular, they have harassed staff members because people raised the question about why you zero out staff. Mr. Chairman, ask Dan Scavino. Ask Mark Meadows. Ask a number of the people who have been targeted and were harassed by these judges and January 6ers. We should make amends, and we should not fund this court to continue its lawlessness. Mr. Chair, I yield back the balance of my time.
