Again, I want to make the point that time really is of the essence in being able to protect due process and, equally and perhaps more importantly, being able to protect victims of certain violent crimes. For example, right now, today, under Fourth Circuit precedent, sex trafficking is not considered a crime of violence; and I think that most of us would all agree that sex trafficking is, indeed, a crime of violence. Mr. Speaker, how much time do I have remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentlewoman from Georgia has 14\3/4\ minutes remaining.
