The return to work earlier this month of United States
Representative Steven Scalise, Republican of Louisiana, the House Majority Whip,
was a triumph of representative government over violence.
Scalise had been shot, along with
two others, in June at the baseball practice of the Republican Congressional
team in Virginia
by a leftist. His return to the House was
greeted in the chamber by much bipartisan applause. The saving of Scalise’s and other members’
lives by his security detail, his treatment and recovery and his return to
Congress thwarted the attempted assassination and the attempt to alter policy
by force, instead of by liberty and representative government through public debate and free and fair elections, which
is the American way.
May God bless America and may
God save the Republic.
