I applaud the Chairman for bringing this issue. I think it is something that we should be talking about.
It is self-evidently unacceptable in America to condition the enjoyment of constitutional rights on political party membership.
It has mattered to me because there are two great American constitutional principles that are at the heart of the cause of D.C. statehood and that are violated every day in the current treatment of residents of the District of Columbia.
I appreciate the leadership that the Committee is showing, because this really is a threat to our country.
