Sheila Jackson Lee: “It is important for this body to adhere to the rule of law. There are several points that I want to make this morning…”

“It is important for this body to adhere to the rule of law. There are several points that I want to make this morning that define adhering to the rule of law. First of all, we know that Mr. Cohen pled guilty yesterday on questions of truth or falsity to the United States Congress. With all due respect, we must investigate the rule of law. In addition, it is important that we put forward a bill that addresses the question of the killing in Yemen and our continued support for the bloodshed created by the war between Saudi Arabia and Yemen. The rule of law, peace or war, determination by this Congress. Finally, I encourage my colleagues to seek and look into their districts because of the increasing number of gangs--not MS-13, but gangs in our high schools and middle schools. We must begin to address directly more resources to intervene in children's lives to steer them away from the violence of gangs. Rule of law, doing our job. I hope that we start doing it, and doing it soon. I know we will do it in the 116th Congress. ____________________”
