Elizabeth Warren

The Supreme Court ruled in 'Plyler v. Doe' that this type of discrimination would clearly be an unconstitutional violation of the 14th Amendment.

Mr. Marcus, we have to move on, but I actually started with an easy one.

If confirmed, would your Office step in to protect the civil rights of that district's black students?

Mr. Marcus, if confirmed, you would be responsible for protecting the civil rights of American students at a time when Nazis and white supremacists are marching across college campuses with tiki torches, and many young people are literally…

But I think it is not just about how much money we spend, but how we spend that money.

I think we need to consider that when we are looking at our capability gaps against China and Russia, in particular.

Even if Congress provided a $700 billion budget tomorrow, it would be several years before the Navy reached 355 ships or DOD could deploy 2,000 F-35 fighter jets.

I just want to underline that I think we need to be focused on not just the inputs, the number of ships or marines or aircraft, but also on the outputs, the goals we are trying to achieve with the force we have.

President Trump's promises to treat the epidemic as a public health emergency won't get the job done unless there are also significant increases in federal funding.

I led a number of my colleagues in calling for more funding to support LEAD and other diversion programs like it.

I've talked with people all over Massachusetts who are on the front lines in the opioid epidemic.

Tom Price lied through his confirmation hearing, and now you come in here, and say the same things he said.

You could own up to the fact that you want to cut Medicaid and gut the Affordable Care Act.

He pretended that he cared about people being able to get their healthcare coverage, and then he got confirmed, and spent 8 months doing everything he could to take away people's healthcare coverage, and crash the healthcare system.

This Administration has spent the first 11 months of this year trying every trick in the book to destroy the health insurance system in this country.

I just want to make it clear for the record. I asked the question about whether or not you think CEO's ought to be held accountable when the companies they are running break the law.

Do you think that CEO's, like John Lechleiter, should be held personally accountable when drug companies like Eli Lilly break the law?

For me, that is just not adequate accountability.

I do not think there was adequate accountability.

Was the settlement adequate accountability for Eli Lilly's unacceptable behavior?

Eli Lilly decided to boost its profits by pushing the drug on nursing homes for uses like dementia and Alzheimer's with no proof that it would work.

Do you agree that when a drug company lies about its products, or defrauds taxpayers, it should be held accountable by the Federal Government?

Your resume reads like a how-to manual for profiting from Government service.

To people who are trying to live on those wages, I think that is how they feel.
