Anti-abortion protesters have an absolute right to say don't do it or anything else they want to say. They do not have any right to say by means of physical force or intimidation, we won't let you do it.

I was not able to vote in today's series due to a delayed flight. Had I been present, I would have voted ``yea'' on rollcall No. 203 and ``yea'' on rollcall No. 204. ____________________

Whenever you see a disparity between what the American people want and what they get there is usually a powerful special interest at work.

It is insane that you can be denied the purchase of a weapon because you are a felon and then go out in the parking lot and buy the same gun.

Well, we can see now what the GOP has become. It has become the anti-ATF, anti-FBI, anti-law enforcement, pro-insurrection party.

I have been carrying a bill now for six or eight years to repeal the immunity that the gun industry has...

My colleagues on the other side of the aisle treat you like you are some kind of a mass shooter instead of someone trying to protect us from the epidemic of gun violence.

The GOP has become the party of wanting guns with more lethality, people killing more people, people killing more kids and more cops.

It is all about the money. Apparently, it is all about the money. Nothing else matters.

I thought, I think like many Americans, that after the tragedy of Sandy Hook it would finally be enough...

We should insist on prevailing wages, the use of local labor, and project labor agreements to ensure that the work is done well.

I rise today to applaud the historic investments in the future of our nation's transportation and infrastructure systems.

I strongly urge you to continue pushing for viable solutions to the consumer protection and noise issues plaguing my constituents at O'Hare.

As we preserve, repair, and rebuild American roads and bridges, airports, and water systems, we must also expand on them.

It is clear that the FAA reauthorization affects all Americans--and it is our duty to serve them.

Nor is that the role of Congress. Quite the opposite. Our role should be to defend the rule of law, not tear it down.

Of course, it is not a coincidence that we are here in Manhattan. Instead, it is the GOP leadership in Congress doing what it has done best over the last six years, and that is to act as the criminal defense counsel for Donald J. Trump.

There was a time in America when both parties used to believe in the rule of law, but, sadly, those days are over.

Of course, this is not a coincidence at all. Instead, it is the GOP leadership in Congress doing what it has done best for the last six years, and that is to act as the criminal defense counsel for Donald J. Trump.

The Manhattan District Attorney has the burden of proving Donald Trump guilty beyond a reasonable doubt.

Our role should be to defend the rule of law, not tear it down.

What a remarkable coincidence, we are meant to believe.

More than right, it means that you are beyond the reach of the law and beyond accountability. The more power, the less justice. This is not democracy. This is the antithesis of democracy.

That this process will be the same for a former President as it would be for his lawyer or his driver or his doorman or his neighbor is the strength of a democracy, not its weakness.
