2. I don't think they're copyrighted, are they?
That would be the only issue.

4. It's public information,...not "privately" owned.
Although, *LOL*, I am SURE the regime in charge would LOVE to assert they OWN that info. Instead, the regime "secretes" away the really bad stuff.

7. Yes... SO FAR...
The malAministration hasn't moved to keep Congressional Floor Statements under lock and key yet...
But you can be sure that they're working on it.

8. Yes, of course
Unless it's a secret meeting, it will be available as part of the Congressional Record in a little while
