Alabama may soon have a law which would compel a 15-year-old girl who has been raped by her stepfather to bring the pregnancy to term.

It feels like a scene out of The Handmaid's Tale, what we are witnessing across the country.

QFR: from Rep. Raskin.

I want to thank all four of you for your superb presentations and for a very civil, productive, and enlightening exchange of views and ideas today.

Thank you very much.

Under your FLRA, the Trump FLRA, there are 23 arbitrator awards set aside for a total of 76.7 percent.

The question of interpretation of the collective bargaining agreement is a question for the arbitrator, and the courts have no business overruling his construction of the contract.

So the position you take now is that it's important to have muscular, strong law enforcement efforts to counter the violence that is happening at the same time that you try to remember the humanity of the people who are in there, that they…

White supremacists today constitute the most significant threat of domestic terror in the United States.

I want to thank you for calling this extremely important hearing.

The Supreme Court case AT&T Mobility v. Concepcion was raised during the hearing by Representative Raskin.

Arbitration has become a tool to cover up a company's dirty laundry.

So now we have a situation where, if the businesses really love arbitration, they can have both kinds. They can have individual, and they can have class-wide, but they went to court to sue against California's law to get it struck down.

I am still trying to get over the AT&T v. Concepcion case, and I just want to re-live the gruesome details of this case.

John Adams once said that 'representative government and trial by jury are the heart and lungs of liberty.'

I applaud Congressman Johnson for his leadership on this legislation.
