Secretary Bernhardt has an opportunity to course-correct. I hope he takes that opportunity.

I welcome the reorganization. I think it is overtime, that is past time, that such should have been done.

I appreciate that, and I think it will be tremendously helpful when Chairman Frazier doesn't have to chase things to Washington.

I appreciate my friend from North Carolina's words. Today, we voted on a bill referred to as net neutrality. It is a position that was taken up by the Federal Communications Commission back during the Obama administration. It was quite…

Could that be another hate hoax? Just keep an open mind.

In this effort of trying to bring people together, I go back to the words of Abraham Lincoln--at least, it is attributed--if you look for the bad in people expecting to find it, you most assuredly will.

The bill that was entitled the Violence Against Women Act was passed in the House today, and I deeply regret it was not the kind of bipartisan bill that I feel like we should have had. I don't know anybody in this Chamber who supports…

I rise out of concern for violence that has been done against women. As someone who has prosecuted such things and has sentenced many men to prison for such things, I want to be part of the solution toward mitigating and stopping the…

I think that we consider laws to say something is equal, like testosterone, when the testimony has already indicated it is clear in the medical literature it does make a difference.

There are four other topics I wanted to touch on. One, I was greatly surprised to find out about a motion and order by the Obama administration in 2012 before the FISA court, because being on the Judiciary Committee--I wasn't there when…

I really appreciate those words from my friend, Chris Smith, and I look forward to seeing that movie. I was very moved watching the movie ``Gosnell''. It just--I thought about the poets, the inhumanity to man. It is tragic. Having talked…

Will the gentleman stay for a question. Mr. Speaker, I am deeply moved and touched by everything my friend from New Jersey has had to say. But at one point, my friend said, he really believed that some day Americans will look back on this…

At this time, it is my honor to yield to my friend from New Jersey, not just a friend, but a brother, ardent pro- life advocate who I have seen has compassion for every baby child. Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New Jersey (Mr…

As most Members are heading back home, I was reminded in the elevator of someone who said: Well, you know, you guys are getting off this week. I have told friends and some of the media that you guys take vacations all the time. I…

We want to keep punishing areas that have been found to have violated civil rights 40, 50 years ago.

Whatever needs to be done should be done to prevent any type of discrimination. On the other hand, we also should be just as adamant about preventing dilution of the vote.

It was clear to me it was going to be unconstitutional.

At some point, some court--hopefully, the highest court--will recognize the damage that is done when votes are diluted by people that are not allowed to vote.

I was listening to the colloquy earlier. I have listened to comments here during debate. I have seen comments made in the media by some of the folks here in the House over the vote that was taken, basically, on an anti-hate resolution that…

According to Proverbs, something that people who are practicing Jews and Christians believe, it says that there are seven things that are detestable to the Lord. They are: ``Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a…

I thought it was appropriate, FOX News had this headline: ``Farewell to Representative Walter Jones--a man who lived his life putting people above politics.'' Another headline from W. James Antle: ``Walter Jones and the Road Not Taken.''…

I do appreciate the Speaker's new policy that says a Member of Congress can only have one Special Order in which they are in charge of the time each week once a week. I have been trying to get Republicans to take our time, much in the way…

Reading earlier, an article quoting from Washington Post and so many of--ABC, NBC--repeatedly calling what is going on on the border, a crisis.

Look, if you guys in Congress are not willing to do your job, don't come running over to our court wanting us to do it for you.

You can say yes or no. It's not a hard question.
