“Just to go back to an argument a previous speaker made about the Democrats having the majority in the House, the Senate, and the Presidency. It also should be on the Record that the other side of the aisle had the majority in the House, the Senate, and the Presidency in 2017 and 2018 and also did nothing on this rule. It wasn't important enough for them to do anything. Then the President's rule at the time moved forward, and it was tossed by two different courts. It was rejected by the courts, which leaves us in this position where we are today of playing ping-pong with the waters of the U.S. rule. Our argument today is: Let's bring certainty to the Clean Water Act, bring certainty to the waters of the U.S., reject H.J. Res. 27, and move forward with the existing rule from the current administration. Mr. Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.”
