"One of our indelible rights is the right to a jury trial. Guaranteed by the United States Constitution, this right has been gradually eroded through forced arbitration agreements."

"forced arbitration has been a concern of mine for some time; and I firmly believe that Congress must act in this instance to protect consumers."

"It is great to be in the time where we can deal with this particular issue and other similar issues, especially given the economic crisis that has, in part, been caused by laissez-faire attitudes."

"This Congress has consistently stated over almost the past 100 years that, if there is no benefit to consumers, then allowing manufacturers to set retail pricing is disfavored."
