Samuel L. Jackson

It is time we stop dealing with fantasy and we deal with facts.

I cannot imagine how anyone could think that voters waiting on line in the morning for four hours... was a good thing.

How long will we have to still, as we sit here in 2019, continue to have to defend a person's right to cast their vote?

This is not a partisan concern. This is about whether or not we are a healthy democracy.

But America--when we are deciding what we need to do, moving forward, many times America has to take a look backwards and our past in this area is painful and it is ugly and it is deep.

We proved at trial that more than half a million eligible voters were disenfranchised by the ID law.

This committee has done it before. In 2006, Congressman Sensenbrenner led a successful effort to reauthorize the Voting Rights Act and we need you to do so again.

We must build for the future, in harmony, with the nobility and the greatness of the past.

Our great nation draws much of its strength from sound traditions and culture.

Fomenting fear about this so-called 'caravan' gets airtime on certain media outlets and plays well with elements of President Trump's political base.

We know that there is a recent court decision that indicts that the DACA structure right now and the President's removal of DACA status is illegal.

America faces threats from the troubling rise of domestic terrorism, mass shootings, and foreign terrorist organizations that seek to do us harm.

There is nothing more precious than the security of this Nation, and I think it is bipartisan.

Would you and the President ask and demand that Paul Ryan put these bills on the floor for us to be able to vote for them?

What are you doing about this GAO report that you are housing seriously mentally ill inmates in solitary confinement?

I have introduced a bill dealing with good time early release for elderly inmates who, statistics show because of medical concerns can be extremely costly.

Private prisons say they do not respond to the FOIA request; and I have a bill that says they should.

This was the most devastating strike on housing of any disaster probably in the continental United States.

I don't want to lose our recognition of Sergeant Perez and the municipal worker, sanitation worker, public works worker.

I hope they will work together so that we do not have the disparate treatment of young people.

He killed them with an AR-15, and we have to bring an end to the utilization of those guns by young people.

No one can discount the outrageous actions of the administration over the weekend, and they should be held accountable for it.

I think the FBI needs to lead on advocating for real gun safety legislation dealing with the elements of guns in the hands of children and others, and particularly assault weapons.

I absolutely do not believe that there are any conspiracies being created by the FBI with the DOJ.

Are you aware of the $1.3 trillion cut to Medicaid by the budget offered by the President and the Republicans?
