Louie Gohmert

I would submit to you that you have done nothing to put anybody in jeopardy.

I would submit to you that you should first do no harm.

Your job is to investigate the facts.

I thank my friend from Minnesota, my very, very dear friend. This is an important day, Priests for Life marking 20 years. As a Christian, as a Southern Baptist, it is an honor to pay tribute to the Catholic priests who have stood strong…

With due deference to my friend from New York and my friend from Utah--and I do mean that literally--I rise in opposition to this bill. What we've seen over the last year and a half is a Presidency that had the most disdain for Congress in…

Now I wish that some of these numb nuts would go out there and read the letter before they make these horrible allegations about the horrible accusations we're making.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. There is nothing like being vilified to get your senses acutely attuned. We had a hearing in Judiciary last week--on July 19, actually--in which Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano appeared. During the…

There's been a great deal of wailing and gnashing of teeth, it seems lately, in response to a letter that five of us signed to five different inspectors general, five different departments of the U.S. Government. Despite the effort to…

Mark Helprin is an author who was educated at Harvard, Oxford, Princeton, Columbia, having also served in the British Merchant Navy and Israeli Military. I will simply convey his words in an article first printed in Hillsdale College's…

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. We have had a number of people ask, Why would we have a vote today to repeal ObamaCare when it has been done before? There had not been a vote taken since the United States Supreme Court said that the administration…

But this Department of Justice policy to get approval from the AG himself, I think is where it is coming back to.

How about, who is protecting the soldiers?

I mean, the people are the ones that are supposed to be protected.

Who is going to stand up and protect those who are out there protecting us?

Who is protecting those who are helping us? And I am not getting the impression that we have anybody doing that right now.

I was outraged Richard Armitage was not prosecuted. He should have been, and I still hope he will be, for outing her.

I can verify that there are people who have already lost their insurance because of ObamaCare. It has happened. It was not and is not true that if you like your insurance, you can keep it. People have already lost doctors who were assured…

There are political dimensions to justice.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. These can be the best of times and the worst of times. There is still so much potential. This country has so much in the way of assets. It is interesting to hear my friends across the aisle talk about the wonders of…

I thank and greatly appreciate my friend, Mr. Clarke. That is obviously an important announcement. I didn't realize that the United Way had been around 125 years. They do great work, and I appreciate my friend, and I do mean my friend…

It's always an honor to speak before the House of Representatives, a great storied history here, just as the Supreme Court has a great storied history. There's some moments in time with regard to the United States Supreme Court which show…

I sure do appreciate my friend from Georgia. He is an absolute patriot, standing for truth, justice, and what used to be the American way. It is, according to the Supreme Court, not so much anymore. And I appreciate the gentleman for…

I look forward to working with Ms. Wasserman Schultz and Chairman Smith to explore ways to combat identity theft without mandatory minimums.

Today's hearing examines the growing trend of identity theft tax fraud, and fraudulent activities by tax preparation companies.

This crime can be devastating to victims, who often have to spend months and even years fighting to establish their identity to the IRS.
