A Threat to Marriage from the EEOC
Feb 9, 2018
The Equal Employment Opportunity Commission may seem like an unlikely threat to religious liberty and the institution of marriage. After all, the federal agency was created to combat workplace discrimination by the Civil Rights Act of 1964. But sadly, the agency created to fight discrimination now threatens to discriminate itself; one nominee to the commission’s five-member board wants to use the federal agency’s power to undermine our nation’s founding principles.
He's Always Lucas First
Feb 9, 2018
Mr. President,
There is good news. There is great news. And then there is the story of Lucas Warren of Dalton, Georgia.
I do not know Lucas. For he is only 18 months old – and so has the good sense not to consort with politicians. But like millions of Americans who have not met Lucas, I will never forget him.

Sen. Lee Statement on Passing of Jon Huntsman Sr.
Feb 2, 2018
From humble beginnings to hard-earned professional success, Jon Huntsman Sr. exemplified the American Dream. He touched thousands through his philanthropic work, including founding Utah’s Huntsman Cancer Institute, and consistently looked for ways to serve his fellow man. He was a great American, and his legacy will be felt for years to come. My heart goes out to his family at home and abroad.

And the government is thinking of nationalizing it.
Floor Speech on the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection Act
Jan 29, 2018
Mr. President,
Right now, the United States is one of just seven countries in the whole world that allow elective abortions after 20 weeks of pregnancy.
And we are not in good company.
Of the other six countries that allow elective abortions at that late stage, half are authoritarian communist countries with horrible records on human rights.
