THE RULE OF LAW
(Ms. JACKSON LEE asked and was given permission to address the House
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
Ms. JACKSON LEE. Mr. Speaker, it is important for this body to adhere
to the rule of law. There are several points that I want to make this
morning that define adhering to the rule of law.
First of all, we know that Mr. Cohen pled guilty yesterday on
questions of truth or falsity to the United States Congress. With all
due respect, we must investigate the rule of law.
In addition, it is important that we put forward a bill that
addresses the question of the killing in Yemen and our continued
support for the bloodshed created by the war between Saudi Arabia and
Yemen. The rule of law, peace or war, determination by this Congress.
Finally, I encourage my colleagues to seek and look into their
districts because of the increasing number of gangs--not MS-13, but
gangs in our high schools and middle schools. We must begin to address
directly more resources to intervene in children's lives to steer them
away from the violence of gangs. Rule of law, doing our job.
I hope that we start doing it, and doing it soon. I know we will do
it in the 116th Congress.
