I think we should really take our time to make sure that we are using this as an opportunity not just to reauthorize but to improve and to offer some really meaningful reforms for AGOA as well.
If this court strikes down these critical provisions, it would not only reverse decades of precedent, but it would also take us back to a dark time in our nation's history, a time when discrimination against minority voters went unchecked.
I am a very strong supporter of AGOA, and I really appreciate our conversation today has heightened the fact that it is a bipartisan and bicameral support for renewal of AGOA.
