Trey Gowdy is Brilliant and Fierce Along the growing lists of Congressman Trey Gowdy’s most powerful moments, this one may turn out to have the greatest impact, as his persuasive speech was greeted with massive applause by his colleagues. Trey Gowdy: Mr. Speaker, what are we to do when this president, or any president decides to selectively enforce a portion of the law and ignore other portions of that law? What are we to do Mr. Speaker, regardless of motivation, when a president nullifies our vote by failing to faithfully execute the law? How do we explain waivers and exemptions and delays in a bill passed by Congress and affirmed by the United States Supreme Court? How do we explain away a refusal to enforce mandatory minimums that were passed by Congress and affirmed by the Supreme Court? And why pursue, Mr. Speaker, immigration reform if presidents can turn off the very provisions that we passed? The oath that brand new citizens take, it contains six different references to the law. If it’s good enough for us to ask brand new citizens to affirm their devotion to the law, IS IT TOO MUCH TO ASK THAT THE PRESIDENT DO THE SAME?
