Thank you, Professor.

I, myself, was a lead attorney on a case that ultimately ended up before him in bankruptcy court, and I associate myself with those of you who have suggested that he is overly solicitous of wrong-doing corporations.

What we are sending is a clear message to all corporations that what they can do is lie to the American people, cause mass destruction, profit off it and go home with all of their money and be protected by the bankruptcy proceedings.

Thank you, Attorney General Tong for his extraordinary leadership and being such a trailblazer in this area.

To let the Sacklers get off scot-free with a few billion-dollar payment that is less than five percent on their money every single year is not just, and it is not fair.

The fossil fuel companies make their billions by polluting air and water, degrading land and emitting the greenhouse gases that fuel the climate crisis.

Thank you, Mr. Chair.

It says that President Biden is the leader that the American people voted for and put in office, because he is effective.

This package is extremely popular with the American people. It will create millions of jobs in every state in America.

The cornerstone of our Bankruptcy Code is fairness.

In recent years, massive institutions and powerful individuals have abused this process to evade accountability.

This must end. We cannot allow this complete and total misuse of the bankruptcy system to escape the reckoning that the law must provide.

We have a drug war that is raging on... and yet people like the Sacklers have caused countless deaths in the United States and are walking away, not only without time behind bars, but with the riches that they made as a result of it.

I want transparency and accountability by the Olympic Committee and USA Gymnastics. I no longer want to live in a world where USA Gymnastics and the Olympic Committee value medals and winning over the safety and well-being of its athletes.

The civil justice system will work to prevent another serial pedophile from infiltrating these organizations because these organizations like the Olympic Committee will learn to Act more responsibly.

What we need is for the Sacklers to face that loss, to face those families, to hear those stories, and to see the suffering that they have caused and then for them to individually pay the price.

Mr. President, for the Committee on Armed Services I report favorably the following nomination lists which were printed in the RECORDS on the dates indicated, and ask unanimous consent, to save the expense of reprinting on the Executive…

Any time the Army Corps is the subject of our attention, I like to point out the studious way in which it seems the Army Corps ignores the priorities and wishes of this Committee.
