I sincerely hope that we can all work together to pass legislation that would help restore America's faith in our highest court.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I've listened carefully to the testimony. I would just want to point out that as we have entered the information age with so much information being available to all for a fee. Why not allow the law enforcement…

Make no mistake about it, this is not about states' rights. The Dobbs decision is not about states' rights.

Our Nation's veterans have done their duty and deserve to be protected from fraudulent schemes that prey upon them.

I would implore my colleagues on the other side of the aisle to have respect for the chair and to cease and desist conversation when that gavel comes down.

Safety and quality of service should always be the priority, not profit.

How free are we as Americans if we are holed up in our homes, shell-shocked by gun violence? We should not have to live like that. We shouldn't have to live tormented by the need to buy yet another gun more powerful than the one our…

It is common sense to impose a ban on the manufacture and sale to the public of military-assault weapons meant for use on the battlefield.

Policymakers who stand in the way of doing something to address the problem should be ashamed of themselves.

No other country has a problem like the gun violence problem plaguing our country.

That policy, Madam Chair, has been a deadly failure.

This stopping a bad guy with a good guy with a gun just has not worked.

The fact of the matter is that the gun lobby, led by the NRA and the gun manufacturers that fund it, exert great influence on politicians.

Americans have grown weary, frustrated, and frightened by the ever-intensifying cascade of gun violence afflicting our country.

Over the next few decades, climate change will affect every part of American life: our health, our economy, and even our geography.

I find it ironic that my colleagues on the other side of the aisle want to concentrate on the southern border while completely mischaracterizing and ignoring what's happening in the interior of our country by right-wing extremists…

Many on the Left hate Justice Thomas because he a Black conservative who has never bowed to those who demand that he must think a certain way because of the color of his skin.

That a functioning society requires that reasonable officers be provided this qualified immunity in applicable civil cases. Without it, the orderly administration of justice would come to a halt amidst paralyzing fear of personal liability.

Democrats ensured that local school systems could keep the doors open to Head Start programs, that county medical centers had the wherewithal to make it through the pandemic, and that small business owners could have a fair chance to…

Because of the Joe Biden American Rescue Plan, we put shots in arms, money in pockets and pocketbooks, we put kids back in school safely, and we put Americans back to work in good-paying jobs.

We are in a much different world today than we were in 1972 when Congress first created a performance royalty.

The integrity of our election system is of critical importance. I mean, we all agree on that.

The Democrats in Congress are seeking to commandeer the State redistricting processes to enrich themselves politically.

Every single Republican that I know wants every eligible voter to participate in our elections.

It would only be--well, it would be only six blind mice on the Supreme Court who could not be able to look through the facade.
