On the recordMarch 27, 2019
Once again, I heard what she read into the Record. I already read that. I understand exactly what it says. I think maybe I haven't made myself clear: The underlying bill injects clarity into the law, which hurts plaintiffs in their cases. This will hurt women in bringing their cases. It will take years to try to get clarity through the court system, if we ever get clarity. That hurts plaintiffs in these lawsuits. Defendants like to throw up unclarity. So I guess, perhaps, if you wanted to argue from that point of view, let's have a confusing bill. I am going to get clarity into the bill that actually helps women. And it is the irony of this whole proceeding that the bill that is supposed to help women, that they say is going to help women, hurts them. I am trying to help women with my amendment. Mr. Chairman, I reserve the balance of my time. {time} 1545
