Speaker, I thank my good colleague from Maryland
(Mr. Raskin). It has been such a pleasure since coming to Congress--and it
seems difficult to believe that it has been almost 3 months--but it has
been such a pleasure to co-lead this Special Order hour with the
gentleman and to really bring to the public all of the issues that we
feel are so important in the Progressive Caucus, issues that have
ranged from the issue we are talking about now with the Supreme Court
nomination, to issues around health care, immigration, the Muslim ban,
and many others. I think that the vision that we are trying to make sure people
understand for the Progressive Caucus and certainly for Democrats is a
vision of inclusion, a vision that respects the rights of everybody,
regardless of what gender you are, regardless of what race or religion
you might be. This moment is, in fact, very important.
