Statement by Rep. Tom McClintock on the Ilhan Omar censure resolution:  Ilhan Omar’s comments regarding the assassination of Charlie Kirk are vile and contemptible. They deserve the harshest criticism of every man and woman of good will. But this disgusting and hateful speech is still speech and is protected by our First Amendment.

Vote Notes on Legislation

Vote Note: H Res 707 goes beyond the prerogative of the majority to decide what bills are  taken to the floor.  This resolution amends existing law to extend the authority of the President to impose tariffs until March 30.  That makes this a substantive question of policy and the responsibility of individual members to pass judgment.  Under the Constitution, the power to impose tariffs is a congressional power and needs to be restored to Congress.

Vote Notes on Legislation
I continue to believe that the roots of all fiscal evil are subsidies, grants and earmarks, and this stinker is packed with them.  Among my objections:
 
  1. Nearly a billion dollars in congressional earmarks that bypass the competitive process that awards funding based on merit and not political deals. 
     
  2. Billions of dollars taken from taxpayers of one community to pay for local water projects that exclusively benefit some other community (in effect robbing St. Petersburg to pay St. Paul.)
