I am concerned as a Member of Congress, as someone who wrote this bill, that we are not capturing the progress.

I completely agree with you.

What are we to take from that message, Mr. Busse?

Would it be fair to say that just looking at the visual, this isn't what Ms. Okafor has talked about self-protection and protecting my home?

I heard the gentleman from Louisiana say that blood would be on our hands if we attempted to pass legislation...

We will not be threatened with violence and bloodshed because we want reasonable gun control.

I would suggest to you, respectfully, the answer is no. But all right. If a child uses one of those guns to shoot a friend or a sibling, are you or your company liable?

Actions to remove those protections threaten the civil service and, I believe, the foundations of democratic society.

Our expert civil service is a crown jewel. Protections are warranted.

I implore the Administration, however, to implement a 5.1 percent pay raise consistent with the FAIR Act I introduced earlier this year.

This morning, I introduced an updated version of the Chai Suthammanont Act, seeking to codify safety procedures for the Federal workforce across the board.

With respect to women with this decision, it is a pretty fundamental restriction on their bodies and what they can do with them.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg... upheld Roe v. Wade during the entirety of her time in the Supreme Court.

How did that work out for us? It led directly to the Civil War, directly, because it overturned the Compromise of 1850.

Show me in the Constitution where the founders in writing the Constitution granted the right to the Supreme Court to review and nullify legislation passed by the Congress or any other legislative body in America.

Virtually every victim we've met with in our roundtable... have called for the release of the report.

You're committing now to release that report?

We've also now learned that there are at least two sexual assault allegations about him personally.

Mr. Snyder paid lots of attention in ordering executives to fire cheerleaders who fraternized with players.

I'm not going to be lectured by those folks telling us about our dereliction of duty and oversight.

There's a lot of chutzpah coming from the other side of the aisle.

I buried six young children, students that week--six. I am still in touch with many of the families years later, and the emptiness in their hearts and souls cannot be filled.

I will support the package of restrictions that we will consider in the next couple of days here in Congress to restrict the use of assault weapons and high-capacity magazines.

This is not a partisan issue, and must never become one or we are lost.

This is not a partisan issue. This is an issue of whether or not we are going to be able to serve the people in the 21st century with a government that is transparent, efficient, and has cost savings built into it.
