speaker, and i thank the gentlewoman from minnesota for yielding time. on october 7, 2023, the world witnessed in real time on the internet the heart-wrenching images of innocent israelis slaughtered in their homes. mr. langworthy: these attacks claimed the live of 1,400 innocent people, including at least 30 american citizens we know of. we saw pure evil on display that day as hamas murdered and kidnapped children, raped women, savagely attacked the elderly. they killed entire families in the most brutal and shocking fashion the world has ever seen. each worse, they went as far as to desecrate the bodies and they celebrated their war crimes. every single american should be heartbroken, should be disgusted, and should be enraged. shame on my lesion that called for a cease-fire. shame on my colleagues who act as aapologists for hamas. shame on my colleagues who have joined anti-semitic rallies and waved palestinian flags especially in our nation's capital. every american should stand with the jewish people of israel. the people of israel are a lone beacon

yeah, we just heard the judge in minnesota. they're questioning whether or not the 14th amendment should even be applied here, and i want to extend that question to you. doesn't it take the choice away from voters at 1st? i didn't know we were going to reach minnesota, and i need to disclose that i am on a legal advisory committee to the non profit that brought that case. but i have not been actively engaged with them on that case. um, so what is prudent? what should the court do? and, you know, trump has made the argument that this would deprive the voters of the right to make the decision themselves. if that were actually what the constitution requires, then the 14th amendment would make no sense because congress in passing it just, we're taking this out of the voters, hands kind, mississippi and alabama cannot send us interaction is and expect us to see them in congress. they don't have that right. and what the voters in these 2 cases are asking, is that they be allowed to vote on candidates who actually are qualified to hel
