Congressman Doyle: You're out of order!
Peter Appleton: "Shall make no law... respecting - "
Congressman Doyle: My chamber will come to order!
Peter Appleton: "An establishment of religion... or prohibiting free exercise thereof... or abridging freedom of speech, or of the press... or of the right to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

Stan Keller: All you boys do...
Congressman Doyle: [banging his gavel] I will have order or I will clear this chamber!

[turns and leaves the courtroom] "
