~~~COMPUTER GENERATED TRANSCRIPT BEGINS~~~
thank you Mr chairman I think we all
know what this is about and uh you all
have been after Justice Thomas we are
fully aware of this and I I think that
um the whole charade is truly disgusting
now if we go back to the Dos leak and
I'm one of those I'd like to know who
the leaker is and I'd like to know why
they did it but since that leak our
Supreme Court
Justices especially Thomas Alo Gorsuch
kavanau Barrett they have been subjected
to threats on their lives their families
have been subjected to threats on their
lives and yet this is what you and
Senator White House are choosing to
focus on is a
discrediting of the court and we we know
what this is about we should be talking
about protections for the court I I
think
that it appears that what you're doing
is you're going after them because right
now you don't agree with some of the
decisions that are coming out of the
court so instead of letting them
exercise and fulfill their jobs what
they're required to do what are you
doing you're going after a way to
delegitimize the court as an
institution tennesseans know this we see
it but you
know Senator Graham mentioned Justice
soda
mayor now this summer what we learned
was that over the years her staff has
pressured public institutions to buy her
books and these books and her book deals
have earned her $4
million and I haven't heard you
mentioned that none of you have
mentioned that you don't want to talk
about that nor have you mentioned the
fact that she refused to recuse herself
from not one but two copyright
infringement cases concerning her book
publisher you clearly don't want to talk
about that one I either so I have filed
an amendment issuing a subpoena to
Justice soda mayor staff who helped to
sell her books as well as to her book
publisher so we can fully understand the
backstory of these deals and since we're
in the business of issuing subpoenas now
here are a few more that I filed a
subpoena to Jeffrey Epstein's estate to
provide the flight logs for his private
plane given the numerous allegations of
human trafficking and sexual abuse
surrounding Mr Epstein I think it is
very important that we identify
everybody that was on that plane and how
many trips they took on that plane and
the destinations to which they
arrived I've also filed a subena
authorizing secretary Sarah to come
before this committee and explain to us
how HHS and the office of refugee
resettlement has lost track of
85,000
children in addition I filed a subpoena
to compel the Biden doj to provide all
documentation about their disastrous
decision to terminate the successful
China initiative that was was a program
that was critical to targeting and
Prosecuting Chinese spies in America
Next we've got to get to the bottom of
the far-left effort to take down
president Trump that's why I filed a
subpoena for all documents relating to
any political donations and
participation by special Council Robert
Mueller's staff and let's talk about the
two tiers of Justice that we're all
seeing in the Biden
Administration this Administration loves
to talk about misinformation but they
clearly have the goal of censoring
conservative speech online in the latest
example of this doj on behalf of the FTC
filed a privacy and securities practices
SW suit against Twitter so I think we
need to get to the bottom of president
Biden's efforts to silence Elon Musk
that's why I filed a subpoena to compel
doj and the FTC to provide all documents
related to the investigation of Elon
Musk so Mr chairman I think there are
real issues that we should be talking
about social media and the way it's
destroying our kids lives Wall Street
Journal has an article in on this today
our Southern border is is wide open it
is a
vulnerability the president's
Administration has lost track of
85,000 children the world is on fire but
what you have chosen to do is to launch
an assault on the legitimacy of the
Supreme Court if you want to take up our
time and go there Mr chairman we can all
go there I think this is a sad day for
this committee and
for the confidence that the American
people would like to have in our
institution and in this prestigious
committee thank you Senator um when I
recognize you I didn't know what subject
you wish to speak to as I announced at
the beginning the first thing we'll
consider the two judicial nominations
then we will move to the subpena and I
see people seeking further recognition
on that issue so after link debate on
these nominees at the last meeting the
question is Mr chairman I chairman I I
want to speak on the
judges Senator cutton no you go ahead
speak the judges as well I'm
