Ted Deutch

May I ask how much time is remaining. The Acting CHAIR. The gentleman has 1\1/4\ minutes remaining.

I would like to confirm. Therefore, if the language in the bill were very clear that for cases to be brought affecting the leasing and the exploration of oil in the gulf, that if those cases could be brought in any of the Gulf States…

So just to confirm, the gentleman's position is that in fact the courts in Florida and Alabama are just as well equipped to hear these cases as are the courts in Texas and the other Gulf States.

The gentleman's opposition to this amendment is premised on a very interesting, and I would respectfully suggest dangerous, interpretation of what is our responsibility as Members of this House. The gentleman spoke of the need to have…

Tomorrow, my Republican colleagues will bring a 2012 budget to the floor of the House, a budget that rolls back generations of progress and, quite simply, ends Medicare as we know it. Fifty years ago, before Medicare and Medicaid were…

I am honored to welcome Rabbi Efrem Goldberg to our Nation's Capitol and thank him for delivering such an insightful opening invocation. Rabbi Goldberg's presence here today is especially significant to me, for I regularly study under his…

I thank the gentlewoman from New York. I have been listening to this debate about the Constitution. I am proud to serve in a body that has such respect for the Constitution. Yet I couldn't find this provision that was applicable today…

Mr. Chairman, I urge you to keep Social Security benefits off the table in this budget debate, because that is exactly where they belong.

We need a healthy debate about our Federal Government's expenditures, and I welcome that discussion.

No matter how many times that you say Social Security is broken, the reality is that Social Security's independent revenue stream and its trust fund's investments maintain the program's solvency until 2037.

More agencies, I think, ought to take a look at their existing authorities and find new ways to use those clear and established powers to combat and recognize problems.

In a traditional shopping center, there would be no place for any store that opens that sells illegal goods.

I have been very open about my admiration for the way that your office took the absolute worst of the worst of these websites hosting illegal content.

Shouldn't we be looking at it the other way, to come up with the technological ways that we can make it more difficult for others to access this, as Mr. Castro points out is eminently doable?

Mr. Deutch, you can agree that there is no reason for us to argue about the relative impact, that this is a vitally important issue we ought to be tackling?

I think this hearing was incredibly helpful in starting to flesh out some of the tough issues that we need to grapple with.

I agree that there is a difference.

It is possible to actually... modify autocomplete so that it doesn't show the list of search terms that might actually be a popular search term.

Aren't there instances where we ought to have enough, enough faith in the Federal Government that they, just like CDT, could get it right?

I believe that we have gone slightly astray here.

If there is a way that it can be done without the collateral damage that you fear, obviously, that should be something we consider.

I couldn't quite tell. That wasn't as easily identifiable.

I would respectfully suggest that in addition to the reasons that you list already, sexual content, graphic violence, hateful or abusive content, and other objection, that it might be helpful for those of us who are concerned about these…

I want to go back--Mr. Sohn, you point out in your written testimony that in 2007, 2008, which is generations ago in terms of what we are combating, what we are dealing with now...

I hope that you can understand my concern here.
