Speech #1130111335

So many other things need to be passed and not just ignored in the face of doing something so political as suing the President of the United States. I urge my friend from California. I urge the Speaker to dispose of what we are supposed to take up tomorrow or Thursday in this lawsuit against the President of the United States for taking steps that we here in Congress apparently are refusing. and I would say to the Republican majority. you are refusing to bring up and have heard and voted ontransportation issues should be a bipartisan matter. immigration should be bipartisan. the ExportImport Bank which benefits our companies and our businesses and has been authorized since the 1930s. makes money for the country. that should be brought up. We should be bringing up the Terrorist Risk Insurance Act so that companies across the country know in the terrible event of another attack like we had on 9111 that there is a backstop for them and their properties and their people. But. no. we are taking up litigation. not legislation.
