Chuck Grassley

The 340B program is not intended to subsidize pharmacies that team up with covered entities to turn a profit.

I guess there is more red tape to this than I thought.

I appreciate that. I have a question for any of the panelists on high-frequency trading.

Taxpayers deserve to know where their hard-earned dollars are going.

Every one of us, I do not care what our political alliances are, we should be totally opposed to suppressing votes.

Many people believe that Section 2 is the heart of the Voting Rights Act, unlike Section 5 that prohibits voter discrimination nationwide.

The Voting Rights Act guarantees the fundamental right to vote for all qualified voters, regardless of race or language.

We should be pleased that our country has made advances in race relations since the Voting Rights Act was passed.

The law was necessary to address a shameful history.

I think you have answered my question and I would like to get Mr. Slane.

I am always concerned about antitrust and competition issues.

So, how do you know they are not pushing the company to buy Smithfield?

But the way I see it, my case that I make in my remarks I am putting in the record is that we have the lowest caseload of any of the districts and we do not need more judges.

That is a pretty remarkable pace.

It also reminds us of the importance of the rule of law and the liberty we enjoy.

Our law . . . needs to be restyled so that mothers are not routinely 'mommy tracked.'

Equal protection is at the heart of the abortion matter.

I do not see any role for that kind of reasoning under the United States Constitution.

A little bit along the same line, I will quote Justice Douglas in Griswold.

My view, any personal view that I might have, would be irrelevant to my serving as a judge.

I know that you believe that there is a right of privacy in the U.S. Constitution.

There would not be enough work to go around.

I want the audience to know that there is an honest difference of opinion between Senator Leahy and me on this subject of whether or not we need additional judges.

I hope we can start working on Professor Pillard's nomination and those of Patricia Millett and Robert Wilkins.

I hope that President Obama is not going to be held to a different standard as though somehow he is different than President Bush.
