BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, I just want to briefly associate myself with the remarks of the Republican leader, Senator McConnell, with respect to the alleged breach of the Supreme Court and reiterate that this is a lawless action. If it turns out to be what we believe to be true, it should be investigated, punished as fully as possible. The Chief Justice has to get to the bottom of this. And, if applicable, the Department of Justice needs to pursue any criminal charges.

Let me just say, too, that I believe, as Senator McConnell pointed out, that all nine Justices on the Supreme Court should tune out the bad-faith noise and feel totally free to do their jobs following the facts and the law where they lead. We need an independent Supreme Court, and we should, at every turn, be defending the independence of our Supreme Court.
