Louie Gohmert

There doesn't seem to be much question at all. Having tried many cases as a lawyer, judge, and chief justice, the evidence is clear. We sent four things, the last of which was saying, Okay, we're appointing negotiators. You don't agree…

This is an important bill, and I appreciate so much my friend who knows about serving in the military, Mike Coffman, getting this to floor. My friend and I, Jack Kingston, had pushed this over 2\1/2\ years ago, when it became clear that…

Reclaiming my time, real people being hurt in real ways is what ObamaCare is doing. And for those who think it is a good thing, those were people that would have been helped by either side of the aisle. But it should be noted that…

I was sitting back here when a Democratic leader came to that microphone and with indignation in his voice demanded the Republicans act responsibly. Mr. Speaker, I would ask you: Was it responsible for the Democratic Party, when they had…

I thank the gentleman. The gentleman is absolutely correct. But it's not just Pennsylvania, and it's not just Texas. It's everywhere. People are hurting. My friends across the aisle in the last hour had commented about Republicans wanting…

I heard our President in a speech that I heard this morning say that in essence people who watch Fox News think ObamaCare is terrible, there are all kinds of problems. I sure hope that our President will start watching something besides…

There has been some interesting news come out. The Council on American-Islamic Relations is changing its name. There was an article in the American Thinker on September 23. This article points out that an explosive story posted Sunday by…

Reclaiming my time, that is an extraordinary development, our President deciding, after America rose up so clearly with, basically, one voice, saying, do not get us involved in Syria. I know in my own office, we had heard from, I think…

Reclaiming my time, it's also important to note, the American people are smart, but somebody at this administration continues to give CAIR access to the White House, to the administration, continues to listen to them. I know the gentlelady…

We've had August to hear from our constituents, and most of us have. And what we've been hearing is tragic. For every several hundred people that give us a story of how dramatically and badly their lives have been affected by ObamaCare…

Today was a big day for the people of the United States of America. Some of us had tried to warn our friends across the aisle that back 3\1/2\ years ago, when ObamaCare was being passed, that there would be dire consequences. It would not…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There are a couple of issues that are certainly worth elaborating on today. One is codified in The Wall Street Journal article from September 11, yesterday, and 7:35 p.m. is when it's timed out. It's regarding IRS…

This is a day of remembrance. It is a solemn day. It is a day that brings back tragic memories for all of us. And then, in some ways, it brings great hope. We all remember where we were on 9/11/2001. And I know there are some that say, I…

Thank you, my dear friend, Randy Forbes, for all that you do on behalf of religious freedom. I know it is not merely Christian freedom, but it is religious freedom, and it is under attack. When we look at what the Constitution says, I know…

It's always such an honor to speak here on the floor. Some have said that you'll regret being in Congress. Well, it's where the fight for America is. I appreciated so much the comments, as I sat here for some time listening to the former…

It is an honor and a privilege to be here to speak. At this time, I yield to my friend from Kentucky (Mr. Whitfield).

I thank my friend from Kentucky. I just had seen an article that's really an exclamation point, really, of what the gentleman was saying. The headline is: Two Americans Added to Food Stamp Rolls for Every Job the Administration Says It…

So much is happening in the world today, so much that is really earthshaking in its potential effect. In the Middle East, I've spoken before about the potential rise of a new Ottoman Empire that, unfortunately, our own country, this Obama…

Yes, it is tough to legislate, but I will submit to you what makes it really tough to legislate is the fact that there are, having been a former judge and chief justice, I can tell you that there are judges who are educated far beyond…

This evening, we had a difficult vote-- not difficult for some, but for some of us, it was. On the one hand, we had the President, who had announced he was going to do the unconstitutional even though he had pushed through ObamaCare…

At this time, I appreciate very much my friend from Louisiana. We do border at our State lines there. We can be just the best of friends and never worry about somebody being moved into the other person's district for redistricting…

We are here to talk about something that is a rather important subject. Immigration has helped make us the greatest Nation in the world, and we want that to continue. We do not ever want our borders closed; we want them secured. Here to…

I appreciate my friend from Pennsylvania's comments. It is interesting, and it really is heartbreaking, when you see so many people, like all of the masses that were here in Washington, to protest over the ObamaCare bill. Anyway, it is…

Thank you. I appreciate those observations so much, and it brings to mind our colleague from down in central Texas who is also a former district judge. He and I share that, but he was a district judge twice as long as I was. So many people…

I thank the gentleman from Alabama. Those were really amazing numbers that you provided, and we'll talk about those further. Mr. Speaker, at this time, I would like to yield to my friend from Minnesota (Mrs. Bachmann) for such time as she…
