Speech #1140002182

I rise in very strong support of this rule and the underlying bills. many of which have not been discussed because we have been discussing the one that is. frankly. the most effective and have been discussing what the President has done and the funding issues. But the one thing that I want to emphasize is what is not being discussed here. and what is not being discussed is the simple opportunity to restore constitutional checks and balances. My friends across the aisle have talked about what question would you want to talk about. Well. lets talk about immigration. When they had the opportunity. they punted on that issue. so I wouldnt want to talk about it if I were them either. They want to talk about how we are going to leave the country in jeopardy.
