What Tim Scott said, and what was done

“Madam President, I thank the ranking member for her kind comments and for her hard work on behalf of the American people. People oftentimes ask the question: Is there anything that is not broken in the Nation's Capital?”

“Mr. President, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. The bill before us is not about funding housing programs at HUD. The bill, unlike amendment No. 5514, is about funding our ICE agents and Border Patrol.”

“Mr. President, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. The bill before us is not about housing programs at HUD; the bill, unlike amendment No. 5535, is about funding our ICE agents and our Border Patrol and keeping our country safe.”

“Madam President, today, I rise to oppose the resolutions, these three CRAs. Under former Director Chopra, the Biden CFPB frequently pushed or ignored the limits of the CFPB's authority.”

“Mr. President, the issue of housing is not a Republican issue or a Democrat issue. It is an issue about helping moms like the one that raised me--the amazing woman that she was--to become a homeowner.”

“I am so thankful that it is so far so good, but we must finish the task today. We can do what so many folks failed to do in this legislative body for the last few decades--not a few years but a few decades--which is to pass consequential legislation that makes it easier to become a homeowner for those who are ready for that part of their journey.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to honor the extraordinary life of Dr. Elijah Washington, a native son of South Carolina, who dedicated his life to healing bodies and nurturing souls in Beaufort County.”

“Mr. President, as the junior Senator from the great State of South Carolina, it is my honor today to recognize and celebrate the extraordinary career of Doug Allison, who is retiring after 31 remarkable years as the head coach of the Furman University men's soccer program.”

“In light of the Sunday attack in Australia on the Jewish community, I wanted to read a letter sent by my friend Scott Reckler to his family--he is Jewish--in response to the Jewish community's pain and misery that they were feeling, experiencing.”

“Mr. President, as the junior Senator from the great State of South Carolina, it is my honor to recognize and congratulate Medshore Ambulance as they celebrate their 50th anniversary of exceptional service to the people of South Carolina.”

“Mr. President, I rise to oppose S. 2965. This bill would impair Treasury's ability to support an important ally in South America, a region this administration has rightly prioritized.”

“Mr. President, as the junior Senator from the great State of South Carolina, it is my honor to recognize and congratulate Newberry Health on reaching a remarkable milestone: 100 years of dedicated service to the people of Newberry County and the broader South Carolina community.”

“Mr. President, as the junior Senator from the great State of South Carolina, it is my honor to recognize His All Holiness Bartholomew, the Ecumenical Patriarch of Constantinople.”

“Mr. President, today I share my gratitude with Rabbi Dr. Ari Berman, president of Yeshiva University, for his prayer for the Senate and for our country. Faith and education together have been powerful forces for good in America.”

“Mr. President, as the junior Senator from the great State of South Carolina, it is my pleasure to honor the legacy and extraordinary work of the late Sue Veer from Greenwood, SC.”

“Mr. President, today I wish to recognize and honor the service of South Carolina State Senator Roger A. Nutt. A man of faith and a lifelong resident of Spartanburg County, Senator Nutt has devoted nearly 15 years of his life to public service, advocating for values and policies that build a better future for our families.”

“Management Agency, the Small Business Administration, and other Federal agencies to support the planning and delivery of disaster recovery and mitigation assistance and other related purposes.

(i) Rule of Construction.-- Nothing in this section or the amendments made by this section shall be construed to limit the authority of the Secretary to provide flexibility under housing laws in effect as of the date of enactment of this Act.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to talk about two important topics. One is the loss of a remarkable South Carolinian. Mr. Lloyd Wayne Coppedge of Myrtle Beach went to be with the Lord on July 19 at the young, spry age of 80.”

“Mr. President, I rise today to honor the life of a truly exceptional man, Mr. Lloyd Wayne Coppedge of Myrtle Beach, SC, who passed away on July 19 at the age of 80, surrounded by his beloved family and friends.”

“Mr. President, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Section 30001 is purely budgetary and changes the CFPB's funding cap from 12 percent to 6.5 percent. It would provide the Agency with ample funding to perform its statutory mandate.”

“Mr. President, the pending amendment numbered 2414 would cause the underlying legislation to exceed the Banking Committee section 302(a) allocation of the new budget authority and outlays; therefore, I raise a point of order against this measure pursuant to section 302(f) of the Congressional Budget Act of 1974.”

“Mr. President, I think it is pretty clear that the underlying assumption is that there is already something nefarious going on, and I simply object to casting aspersions toward the President of the United States, particularly given the fact that this is the party--not Jeff but the party--that had cocaine in the White House, that had a problem with Hunter Biden's laptop.”

“Mr. President, I rise in support of the GENIUS Act. Today is a good day to watch a bipartisan coalition do what we were sent here to do: work on behalf of the American people.”

“Why? Because we were on the verge of doing something that would have made our markets safer and cheaper for everyday, working Americans across this remarkable land. But, instead, we witnessed a disappointing display of political gamesmanship that puts partisan politics above policy and obstruction above innovation.”

“I rise in support today for two strong nominees: Luke Pettit and Marcus Molinaro, who were moved out of the Banking Committee with broad bipartisan support. Luke Pettit has been nominated to serve as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury for Financial Institutions.”

“I am so sorry to hear that. H.J. Res. 61 Mr. President, I rise for another topic. Today, I rise in support of my Congressional Review Act to overturn one of the Biden-era EPA rules on the rubber tire manufacturing NESHAP.”

“Mr. President, I rise to talk in favor of my CRA on the overdraft fees. President Biden and his politically motivated junk fee conversation was not about helping consumers.”

“Madam President, reserving the right to object, IEEPA is a powerful tool that provides the President with a range of authorities to protect our national security. With all the challenges facing our Nation, now is not the time to be limiting Presidential power, and that is exactly what Senator Shaheen's bill would do.”

“Madam President, I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Here is why: They are putting the blame in the wrong place. We all agree the housing prices have skyrocketed over the last 4 years.”

“I urge my colleagues to oppose this amendment. Democrats are the ones who caused the record-high inflation and soaring consumer prices with their reckless partisan spending. The cost of everything is up 20 percent, and the cost of housing went up 40 percent during Joe Biden's Presidency.”

“Mr. President, the Department of Housing and Urban Development's mission is to create strong, sustainable communities and support of affordable homes. Yet under President Biden and his administration, the Department failed to serve our Nation's most vulnerable.”

“Thank you, Coach. I will just simply say that although there are many, many people living in Alabama coming to the conclusion--it makes total sense to me. Alabama is a fine State.”

“Mr. President, as a Senator from the great state of South Carolina, it is my distinct honor and privilege to recognize Deputy Hal Gooding as he retires after an extraordinary career with the Charleston County Sheriff's Office.”
