             RAISING A QUESTION OF PRIVILEGES OF THE HOUSE

  Mr. McCARTHY. Madam Speaker, I rise to a question of the privileges 
of the House, and I offer H. Res. 331.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the resolution.
  The Clerk read as follows:

                              H. Res. 331

       Whereas on the evening of April 17, 2021, Representative 
     Maxine M. Waters of California joined protestors in Brooklyn 
     Center, Minnesota, who were gathered outside the Brooklyn 
     Center Police Department;
       Whereas Representative Maxine M. Waters said, ``We're 
     looking for a guilty verdict'' in the trial of Derek Chauvin;
       Whereas Representative Maxine M. Waters said that if there 
     was not a guilty verdict, protestors on the street should ``. 
     . . Stay on the street, and we've got to get more active, 
     we've got to get more confrontational, we've got to make sure 
     they know we mean business.'';
       Whereas on April 19, 2021, the judge in the trial of Derek 
     Chauvin, Judge Peter Cahill, said in reply to Derek Chauvin's 
     defense attorney, ``I'll give you that Congresswoman Waters 
     may have given you something on appeal that may result in 
     this whole trial being overturned.'';
       Whereas Judge Cahill stated, ``I wish elected officials 
     would stop talking about this case, especially in a manner 
     that is disrespectful to the rule of law and to the judicial 
     branch and our function.''; and
       Whereas Judge Cahill stated, ``I think if they want to give 
     their opinions, they should do so in a respectful manner, and 
     in a manner that is consistent with their oath to the 
     Constitution. To respect the coequal branch of government. 
     Their failure to do so I think is abhorrent.'': Now, 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, That--
       (1) Representative Maxine M. Waters of California be 
     censured;
       (2) Representative Maxine M. Waters forthwith present 
     herself in the well of the House for the pronouncement of 
     censure; and
       (3) Representative Maxine M. Waters be censured with the 
     public reading of this resolution by the Speaker.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The resolution qualifies.


                            Motion to Table

  Mr. HOYER. Madam Speaker, I have a motion at the desk.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Clerk will report the motion.
  The Clerk read as follows:
       Mr. Hoyer moves that the resolution be laid on the table.

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The question is on the motion to table.
  The question was taken; and the Speaker pro tempore announced that 
the ayes appeared to have it.
  Mr. McCARTHY. Madam Speaker, on that I demand the yeas and nays.
  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to section 3(s) of House Resolution 
8, the yeas and nays are ordered.
