Chairman, but this is a day where we're going to disagree and disagree very strongly. it is, as you referenced, mr. chairman, a sad day, sad day for me personally, for the rules committee, for the institution of the house and for the american people. we're meeting today on a rule for considering articles of impeachment against a sitting president of the united states on the floor of the house of representatives. this is not the result of a fair process and certainly not a bipartisan one. sadly, the democrats' impeachment inquiry has been flawed and partisan from day one. i guess it should come...

Like. in federalist 65, alexander hamilton wondered, quote, where else than in the senate could have been found a tribunal sufficiently signified or sufficiently independent to serve as a court of impeachment? what other body would be likely to feel confidence enough to preserve unawed and uninfluenced the necessary impartiality? my colleagues, lead are mcconnell, are you in alexander hamilton's words unawed and uninfluenced to produce the necessary impartiality, or will you participate in a coverup? can we live up to hamilton's fine words with dignity, independence, confidence to preserve the...

The end of the day that the president will remain in office. and for what? scoring political points with their party's base? again, mr. chairman, this doesn't make any sense to me. we didn't need to go this route. we didn't need to push forward on a partisan impeachment process that had only one possible result. but we are here anyway, regardless of the damage it does to the institution and regardless of how much further it divides the country. as i said at the beginning, mr. chairman, this is a sad day for all of us, but it is especially sad for me knowing this day was inevitable, preordained...
