WE NEED A CONGRESS AMERICANS CAN COUNT ON
(Mr. GOHMERT asked and was given permission to address the House for
1 minute.)
Mr. GOHMERT. Well, we were told that Don't Ask, Don't Tell was
something we would take up once we had a study done because that's the
only thing that would be fair to our men and women in the service. Now
we're told the study will be finished at the end of the year; we're
going to take up the bill now.
We were told by the Supreme Court it was okay to have a cross in the
Mojave Desert, but thieves went out there, took it out after they lost,
and now the Park Service is working with the thieves, perhaps
unwittingly, to keep it from happening.
The Auto Task Force met behind closed doors, turned bankruptcy law
upside down, made secured creditors unsecured, owned the place, took
property without due process, turned the Constitution upside down. The
Congress and the courts did nothing. No wonder employment is going down
and unemployment is going up; businesses can't trust this government.
It is time to get back to a body that deals honestly, with integrity
and with a consistency the country and businesses and jobs can count
on.
