Mr. GOSAR. I thank my friend.

Mr. Speaker, constitutional attorney Jonathan Turley once said that,
since Roosevelt, we have made the executive branch stronger and
stronger and stronger. But they have actually had a dance partner, and
that is us--that is us, the legislative branch, both the House and the
Senate.

Mr. Speaker, when are we going to stand up for the rule of law? How
do I go back to Arizona where they defy the rule of law, where we allow
anybody to pass go, collect $200, and go to the front of the line? How
do we accomplish that without standing up for something? This is that
time. This is the time to stand up and not leave everything to the
courts.
