If it came down to this, the Federal Government, of course using the IRS under ObamaCare to enforce the law, the Federal Government comes and says, the gentlelady from Minnesota must either pay a $2,000 fine, penalty, tax, whatever they…
Well, it is going to be interesting, and this is a bit of a tangent, but because of what the gentlelady has pointed out, this President has indicated he is going to turn over control of the Internet away from where it is now to an…
The gentlewoman makes a great point. But unfortunately or fortunately, depending on your point of view, the Founders created so much in the way of checks and balances to prevent the government from abusing the power, as the gentlewoman…
One of the justices--and, again, since we don't have cameras in the courtroom yet, I will be fighting for that in the future, I could only listen to the audio--but one of the justices, again, tried to belittle Paul Clement's comment that…
That is who we have been. The question now before the Supreme Court is: Is that who we will continue to be? We know that at least one justice of the Supreme Court seems to think that it is okay for the government to tax you $2,000. Just…
Well, chains can be figuratively applied--figuratively applied when someone taxes because a tax hung around the neck is a burden. It is a chain. It is an albatross. It can be devastating, as some people have found out. {time} 1600
Going back to this morning, as I mentioned, I am a member admitted to practice before the Supreme Court. It is a great honor, back when I was a real lawyer. There is seating in front of the bar for the members of the Supreme Court Bar, so…
This is an important day right across the street at the U.S. Supreme Court Building. It has been interesting. In the past, most of the time that I am aware of, when there was a matter coming before the Supreme Court, they observed what is…
One of the Justices appeared to point out, apparently, that an agency is the one that established so many of these things. So the question arises, since an agency can say your insurance policy must provide this medicine, this medicine, not…
Well, God bless Justices Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas. I didn't hear Justice Thomas ask questions. He normally doesn't. It is extraordinary to spend time with Justice Thomas. You find out rather quickly just how really brilliant he is…
At this time I would like to yield to my friend from Pennsylvania (Mr. Rothfus).
I thank my friend from Colorado so very much. We have done much together in our time here, and I am grateful for his service. Mr. Speaker, I yield to my good friend from Florida (Mr. Yoho), for such time as he may use.
I thank my friend from Georgia so very much. I need to come to where he preaches some time and get some more of that good preaching. That was outstanding; and I know, as a servant to the country in Congress and our military, as he is, as…
I thank my friend from Pennsylvania very much. They are very, very good points. Also along the lines my friend was talking about, some of us were here when our fine President stood at that podium and spoke to all of us here and he said in…
Thank you so much. Mr. Speaker, I am so grateful to the gentlelady from Missouri for calling so many Members and leading this in this time. Mr. Speaker, just closing with one line from Benjamin Franklin: Without God's concurring aid, we…
I thank my friend from Florida for those strong words. We had strong words from the Vatican Chief Justice, as reported by CBS today. They quoted him, the Vatican Chief Justice, as saying: It is true that the policies of the President of…
At this time, Mr. Speaker, I yield to the gentleman from New York (Mr. Reed), my friend, such time as he may consume. NO MORE Week
Thank you for those stirring and important words. Mr. Speaker, at this time, I yield to the gentleman from North Carolina (Mr. Holding), my friend. Mack Pierce
At this time, I yield to the gentleman from Texas (Mr. Flores), my new friend. Remembering Retired United States Air Force Colonel Robert Darden ``Pete'' Peterson
Thank you. Mr. Speaker, there are many great Americans. There are some who are exceptional, and it is always a pleasure to hear about a life well lived, someone who will meet his Maker and who will hear the words ``well done, good and…
Sometimes it is very helpful to set the record straight, as my friend from Tennessee talked about earlier, and I thought that would be highly appropriate, given some of the lighthearted and sometimes mean-spirited barbs that have been sent…
I heard my friend from Tennessee talk about revisionist history, and yet he has also talked about the Republicans shutting down the government. So that we get this accurate, the truth is this body here proposed and passed three different…
At this time I would like to yield to my dear friend, Mr. LaMalfa. Mr. LaMALFA. I appreciate my good friend from Texas. Thank you for yielding time tonight. I wanted to speak a little bit about some issues affecting California and the wise…
These are interesting times in America. For most of us who went to law school, we were taught that for an adversarial system of justice of law to work, there has to be active participation on both sides of an issue, of a person charged…
