I tried to defund 20% of the budget for the D.C.
circuit courts and D.C.
district judges, Judge Boasberg and Judge Boardman.

I can promise you a lot of my Republican colleagues were mad that we offered that amendment, Glenn, but I offered it anyway because we have to expose the people who aren't going to recognize what time it is in America.
