Political Quotes

“The REINS Act is a very important piece of legislation for us to pass to rein in the unaccountable bureaucratic state that is telling Americans what kind of cars they can drive and much more than that with the regulations and rules that are coming out of the unelected bureaucratic states. Rules like the VA abortion rule that was recently put in place by the Biden administration would not qualify as a major rule under the REINS Act. My amendment would make any agency rule that increases access to abortion subject to congressional review. I am proud of this amendment because it is the first standalone pro- life amendment vote the House will take this year. My amendment will counter the radical, pro-death agenda the Biden administration promotes throughout their entire administration. The REINS Act will significantly restore appropriate and constitutional congressional oversight for the out-of-control bureaucracy. It is a step toward ending the ``Washington knows best'' attitude that too often prevails in this town. It is a step toward freedom and less government oppression for all Americans. It is a step toward fiscal responsibility. Mr. Chair, in addition to the underlying bill, I urge all of my colleagues to support my pro-life amendment, and I reserve the balance of my time.”
