Republican KevinKileyCA explains why he sided with Democrats and voted against the censure of RepAdamSchiff 20 Republicans voted against it, and the bill failed to pass the house.
On Wednesday, I voted for a motion to table H. Res 489, concerning Representative Adam Schiff. Many people have asked why. The reason is simple: I believe that the legislation, as it was then written, was unconstitutional. Fortunately, I have been in contact with the author of the Resolution, and she is working to address the constitutional issues. I look forward to voting on a revised version next week.
The revisions I’ve asked for to the Resolution put it on solid legal ground and will prevent this perverse outcome. In the many battles we’ve fought together, we’ve used every tool at our disposal to fight for sanity, decency, and conservative values. We’ve won tremendous victories against all odds. And we’ve always done so in the name of our country’s founding ideals: freedom, self-government, the rule of law, and the Constitution itself.
I must disagree. I believe the way to counter our opponents’ assault on the Constitution is not with equal and opposite violations of our own. It is with fidelity to the Constitution, of a renewed and urgent kind.
