I am deeply troubled about the potential impact that this proposed funding cut would have to the cybersecurity for energy delivery systems R&D program.

The Public Record
I am deeply concerned about the decision the Court itself, the Supreme Court itself, has made which has tilted the political field so significantly.
During our meeting, I was encouraged when you said that the purpose of Article III of the Constitution was to protect the rights of the minority through access to the courts.
Will the Court uphold a woman's constitutional right to choose or upend decades of legal precedent to overturn Roe v. Wade?
Will the Court protect the right to vote for all Americans or allow States to use voter fraud as an excuse to disenfranchise vulnerable communities?
Will the Court protect access to our justice system or slam the courthouse door to all but the wealthiest among us?
Will the Court protect our land, water, our earth, or gut decades of environmental regulations?
if judges are going to work this hard to strain the text of a law to undermine the purpose, which was for the safety and that a driver who made a decision based on that would not be fired, I think that makes it pretty tough for any laws…
the Court adopted a narrow view that only quid pro quo corruption counts regarding campaign contributions and that appearance of corruption, basically, which had also been a concern, is out the window.
If corporations are able to spend unfettered money on American elections, what is there to stop a foreign company from funneling money into our elections through its American subsidiary?
The sheer volume of speech bought by corporate money drowns out the voices of everyday Americans on important issues.
