“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding time. It is planned, and it is orchestrated. The Democrats' systematic attack on the independence of the Court has been going on now for several years, and it started right where the sponsor of the legislation read from first, when he said that Senator Chuck Schumer said: ``I want to tell yo…”

“This whole systematic, orchestrated, and planned attack on the independence of one of the separate but equal branches of our government is serious stuff. Then, of course, we now have the Democratic Socialists of America who want to get rid of the Court. They want to get rid of the Senate, and they want to replace the President.”

“Do they support replacing the Court? Do they support abolishing the United States Senate? That would be an interesting question for the folks on the other side. We know they want to pack the Court. Do they agree with the Democratic Socialists who want to abolish the Court? I thank the gentleman and also one of our other colleagues, Mr.”

“Why not three? Why four? It is because they want to take the Court from a 6-3 conservative majority Court to a 7-6 liberal Court. It is all planned. Then, of course, we had the systematic attacks on two Justices in particular, Justice Alito and Justice Thomas.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding me time. Mr. Speaker, you don't give up your Fourth Amendment rights when you are exercising your Second Amendment rights. That is what is happening out there: People's privacy is being invaded. These merchant codes are there so the government can abuse them and track you.”

“We want to know what you bought when you were at a certain location, and we want to know if you ever purchased a gun anytime in your life with that credit card or debit card. That is what the FBI asked Bank of America to do. That is how dangerous this practice is.”

“Speaker, on the other side, controlling the time, the law professor, does he agree with what the Democratic Socialists are saying? That would be an important question for this body to understand. Mr. Speaker, I thank the guys who sponsored this legislation.”

“Do they support replacing the Court? Do they support abolishing the United States Senate? That would be an interesting question for the folks on the other side. We know they want to pack the Court. Do they agree with the Democratic Socialists who want to abolish the Court? I thank the gentleman and also one of our other colleagues, Mr. Johnson from South Dakota, who has worked on this legislation for a long, long time. This is important. This is important because we know where they want to go. We should remember when the Democratic Socialist Mamdani was sworn in as mayor of our largest city 9 months and 2 days ago, he said: ``I was elected as a Democratic Socialist, and I will govern as a Democratic Socialist.'' These are their principles. Does my friend and colleague, Mr.”

“This whole systematic, orchestrated, and planned attack on the independence of one of the separate but equal branches of our government is serious stuff. Then, of course, we now have the Democratic Socialists of America who want to get rid of the Court. They want to get rid of the Senate, and they want to replace the President. This is their party, the once great party. We mentioned FDR in this context, but in the broader context, the once great party of FDR and JFK is now controlled and is now anti- Israel, socialist, and all kinds of crazy ideas that go to the heart of what our country is about and our Constitution. {time} 1300 This is a good piece of legislation. Maybe this is a question these guys want to answer, Mr. Speaker. Maybe they want to answer some of these questions. Do they support replacing the Presidency?”

Then, of course, we had the systematic attacks on two Justices in particular, Justice Alito and Justice Thomas. They even had a hearing in the Judiciary Committee where they brought in the guy who was demonstrated to be a liar when he was trying to say that Justice Alito was involved in leaking an opinion. That was total garbage. Then, of course, we had the real leak, the Dobbs leak, on May 2, 2022. What happened after that? Mr. Speaker, 150 churches and crisis pregnancy centers around the country were attacked, not to mention the planned assassination attempt on Justice Kavanaugh in the aftermath of that leaked decision.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding time. It is planned, and it is orchestrated. The Democrats' systematic attack on the independence of the Court has been going on now for several years, and it started right where the sponsor of the legislation read from first, when he said that Senator Chuck Schumer said: ``I want to tell you, Gorsuch; I want to tell you, Kavanaugh; you have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price.'' Guess where he said that, Mr. Speaker, the top Democrat in the government at the time, where did he say that? It was on the steps of the United States Supreme Court. Then, of course, 1 year later, Democrats--not just any Democrats, the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee--introduced the bill to go from 9 to 13, the Court-packing bill. Why did they want to add four? Why not one? Why not two?”

“We want to know what you bought when you were at a certain location, and we want to know if you ever purchased a gun anytime in your life with that credit card or debit card. That is what the FBI asked Bank of America to do. That is how dangerous this practice is. That is why the sponsor from West Virginia, the chairman, and the committee's work is so good. God bless them. You don't give up your Fourth Amendment rights. Our Constitution protects our First, Second, and Fourth Amendment liberties--all of them. They are all important. That is why this legislation is critical. Mr. Speaker, I thank the chairman for his good work and Mr. Moore from West Virginia for sponsoring the bill.”

That is what is happening out there: People's privacy is being invaded. These merchant codes are there so the government can abuse them and track you. If you don't think I am right about this, we have the evidence: January 15, 2021, an email from the FBI to Bank of America saying give us every debit card and credit card purchase for anyone in Washington, D.C., for these particular dates. That is bad enough. You are allowed to travel in this country, too. That is a right we have. Here is what they also say: Also, overlay that with any historic purchase for weapons or weapons-related purchases. What?”

“Bring them back. That makes no sense. It makes no sense, and the American people understand it. Mr. Speaker, I thank Mr. Issa for this good piece of legislation that we passed out of the committee, I think, 4 weeks ago. I thank Representative Schmidt, who added the good amendment to it that I think makes a good bill even stronger. Mr. Speaker, I urge adoption of the legislation.”

“The Supreme Court said 2 days ago that they are going to put a hold on the time on this Judge Boasberg and this migrant issue that has been with us for the last 3 weeks. Then, yesterday, this unelected district judge in California who thinks they get to decide how many probationary employees work in the executive branch, not the guy who heads the executive branch, the Supreme Court said ``no'' to that, those leftwing groups who were seeking standing in that case. Both decisions are wins for the Constitution, wins for the rule of law, wins for the executive branch, and, maybe most importantly, wins for common sense. I think I have been pointing this out since Judge Boasberg issued his order when he said: Turn the plane around. Bring back the bad guys. Bring back the illegal migrants in this terrorist organization. Turn the plane around.”

“Mr. Speaker, I thank the gentleman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, there are 677 Federal district judges, and they are just that, judges. They are not the President of the United States. They are not the person who put his name on the ballot and ran nationwide, got 77 million votes, won the electoral college, and is head of the executive branch. They are judges, district judges. I said this in committee. The real question ultimately is who gets to decide: some district judge, or the guy who put his name on the ballot; some bureaucrat, or the guy who ran for the office and got elected by we the people? That is the fundamental question. Guess what? We just got two decisions from the United States Supreme Court who seemed to reinforce that fundamental principle that the guy who runs and heads the executive branch makes the decision.”

“I trust the guy who was elected and the people he has put in charge of this effort. He told us he was going to do it. The American people elected him to do it. Maybe we should focus on stopping the stupid spending. After all, we have a $36 trillion debt.”
