This is really a spectacle, as we get ready in Congress to leave for 7 weeks of vacation.

The American people also expect government officials to abide by the law just like everyone else.

I want to thank both gentlemen from Virginia for their support of this legislation. I rise today to urge passage of H. Con. Res. 138. This resolution would designate the George C. Marshall Museum and the George C. Marshall Research Library…

I believe that this side has the right to close, and I have one speaker remaining, so we are prepared to close whenever the gentleman from Georgia is ready. I reserve the balance of my time.

The need for the Separation of Powers Restoration Act of 2016 to restore balance in our Federal system is clear. The modern Federal administrative state is an institution unforeseen by the Framers of our Constitution and rapidly…

The divisiveness between our police and our communities must end.

I appreciate Chairman Upton's leadership and partnership throughout this important effort. Today is a proud day in our Nation's history. Today the House will complete its work on a comprehensive legislative package to combat the terrible…

I would briefly like to discuss with my friend and partner in this effort, the chairman of the Committee on Energy and Commerce, how the conference report encourages innovation by allowing alternative therapies to qualify for funding while…

It is healthy for Congress, which has responsibility for authorizing funding for the judiciary, to review spending by the judiciary.

America, as a Nation of laws; with laws, come disputes and differences of opinion.

This one focusing on the mandatory Federal spending that risks stripping current and future generations of so many of the opportunities previous generations enjoyed.

The American people look to our Nation's courts to be efficient, transparent, and fair arbiters for settling disputes when they arise.

Among the grievances that the signers of the Declaration of Independence lodged against King George was overregulation: 'He has erected a multitude of New Offices and sent hither swarms of officers to harass our people and eat out their…

Overregulation is not a new issue, and the reason why this hearing is timely is it comes right after Independence Day.

In addition to efficiency, the American people expect transparency with respect to judicial actions.

The Constitution sets forth a system of checks and balances, which grants each branch of government tools to ensure that no one branch of government attains too much power.

It is clear that our Founders believed that the free expression of ideas are integral to the wellbeing of our Nation.

I would caution this Committee to be very careful in the way it words its censure resolution.

This IRS targeting scandal was nothing short of shocking. It was a political plan to silence the voices of groups representing millions of Americans.

I thank the chairman of the subcommittee. Mr. Chairman, the tragic mass shooting in Florida Sunday morning is but the latest in a string of terror attacks here in America. Sadly, these plots have not been carried out by foreign terrorists…

I regret that we are not using the time today to hold a hearing on criminal justice reform, gun violence prevention, legislation to protect the intellectual property rights of artists and musicians or comprehensive immigration reform.

When the vast majority of the House and the Senate, Republicans and Democrats alike, can agree that the evidence to support impeaching Commissioner Koskinen is not there, I think it's time to move on from these games and do some real work.

I am personally disappointed that we plan to spend not just today but an additional day in June discussing these unsubstantiated claims.

It seems to me a dereliction of duty when you wait 4 months to tell Congress, right?

I just think that this is respectfully a remedy in search of a problem and that we have better things that we could be doing with our taxpayer dollars to put the American people in a better place in terms of their quality of life.
