Floor Remarks on Title X Rule
May 24, 2018
Mr./Madam President,
Last week, the Trump administration proposed new rules to finally bring federal policy back in line with federal law. This should not be controversial in a republic committed to the rule of law.
But this new policy touches the question of abortion, which tempts all three branches of our federal government to turn truth, justice, and the law inside out in the service of violence.
President Trump is resisting those temptations, and affirming that the law should do what it says.
Jim Bridenstine to be the next NASA administrator
Apr 19, 2018
Mr. President, later today this body will vote to confirm my friend Jim Bridenstine to be the next NASA administrator.
In that position, he will be in charge of rebuilding a space program that matches the pioneering spirit and determination of the American people.
I have known Congressman Bridenstine for many years, and I know that he is just the man for this important undertaking.
Let us review his record. It will show that Jim Bridenstine’s service to our country is matched only by his eagerness to press the boundaries of sky and space.
Remarks to the Federalist Society on Trade & Article I
Mar 22, 2018
Good afternoon, thank you all for being here.
And thanks to the Federalist Society for organizing this conference on restoring Article I of the Constitution, which is a subject near and dear to my heart.
Article I, of course, is the section of the Constitution that enumerates the powers of Congress.
Floor Speech on Ryan D. Nelson
Mar 22, 2018
Mr. President, I’d like to speak for a few minutes about Ryan Nelson, who has been nominated as solicitor for the Department of the Interior.
Ryan is a fantastic choice for this position at Interior. As a native of Idaho Falls, he is a fellow Westerner who understands the issues confronting the region.
