I take my duties as Wyoming's lone congressional Representative very seriously, and my obligation to be honest and trustworthy is the foundation of my ability to carry them out. This privileged resolution isn't about politics. It is about…

Do you believe that taking someone's ability to generate revenue on their own property is good public policy?

But that isn't what you are doing. That isn't your agenda. Your agenda actually increases the cost of housing, food, and energy.

Under this Administration, we have seen a drastic transition in the CEQ's role. The agency has become heavily politicized, transforming its role from overseeing NEPA compliance issues to waging war against domestic energy production.

I will soon introduce the Energy Poverty Prevention and Accountability Act, which will highlight communities who are disproportionately impacted by policies that stifle affordable and reliable energy production.

The common theme of this Administration's energy policy has been an attack on low-income communities, the very people you claim to be protecting.

I represent the voices of the millions of people who suffer economically at the hands of Washington bureaucrats who seek to expand their regulatory role through radical social agendas.

The irony of what my colleague on the other side is saying is that the only time that the courts would be addressing guidance is when the agencies are attempting to enforce it against someone outside of the agency. Again, an example might…

Over the last few decades, and as accelerated during the Obama and Biden administrations, our constitutional separation of powers has been undermined by Congress' overdelegation of legislative powers to regulatory agencies in the executive…

I have an amendment at the desk. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will designate the amendment. The text of the amendment is as follows: Page 1, beginning on line 16, strike ``and rules made by agencies'' and insert ``rules made by…

The Separation of Powers Restoration Act, or SOPRA, is great legislation that I fully support. My amendment is simple and seeks to clarify that de novo judicial review applies to agency guidance as well as to agency rules and congressional…

I find it so ironic, having been a practicing attorney for 34 years and fighting over these exact battles in court, that I am having someone who hasn't practiced for decades tell me that I am ignorant. The agencies are the ones that…

The voice of Wyoming has been ignored on this topic, so I am deeply grateful for the chance to echo their sentiment of concern and outrage over this proposed rule.

I think this amendment perhaps defines the incredible contrast between this side of the aisle and the folks on the other side of the aisle. I believe that $100 million is an astronomical amount of money, and they don't see that it is all…

I am proud to be a cosponsor of the REINS Act, which is an important effort to ensure Congress reclaims its rightful authority and responsibility to legislate. This amendment is technical in nature, but it is important, nonetheless. In…

I just have a couple of points. One is that the REINS Act has enjoyed longstanding, bipartisan support. In fact, the House passed prior versions of the REINS Act with bipartisan support in each one of the 115th, 114th, 113th, and 112th…

American economies can only get a return on our Federal lands in much of the West through two things. The first is grazing and the second is through mineral extraction or logging. The very lifestyle of rural communities is at risk when…

I think that my colleague on the other side of the aisle just confirmed why this amendment is necessary and why the REINS Act is so important. What I believe I heard him say is that because it is difficult for the administration to…

I demand a recorded vote. The Acting CHAIR. Pursuant to clause 6 of rule XVIII, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from Texas will be postponed. Amendment No. 11 Offered by Mr. Green of Texas The Acting CHAIR. It…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Wyoming is recognized for 5 minutes.

This amendment is simply an attempt to delay implementation of a bill that the Democrats do not support. If the Democrats don't like the bill, they can vote against it. Even if implementation was delayed a year, it is unclear what, if any…

This proposed rule has unintended consequences that are contrary to the statutory provisions of FLPMA, lacks factual basis, and does not adequately consider the economic impacts of the rule on small businesses.

This amendment undermines the purpose of the REINS Act. The REINS Act rejects a standard of legislative disapproval concerning major rules. Instead, the REINS Act creates a standard of legislative approval for major rules. The fact is that…

I am prepared to close. Again, this is just one more effort to try to undermine the very purpose of the REINS Act and make it so that it would not work as it is intended to work. It is this body's responsibility to legislate, not the…

I claim the time in opposition to the amendment. The Acting CHAIR. The gentlewoman from Wyoming is recognized for 5 minutes.
