I want to thank my colleague for advancing our discussion here because I think now we are really starting to get somewhere. The gentlewoman suggested an amendment which allows for the transfer of a firearm to a victim of domestic violence…
I suppose that we are in a rush to do anything, something, anything that works in order to curb the terrible toll of gun violence on our society. In the last Congress it is true there was other legislation that was brought to us. One was a…
For the purpose of debate only, I yield the customary 30 minutes to the gentlewoman from Arizona (Mrs. Lesko), pending which I yield myself such time as I may consume. During consideration of this resolution, all time yielded is for the…
Our colleagues are not upset because you lied to Congress for the President; they're upset because you stopped lying to Congress for the President.
Just to quote a small part of it: ``Firearms pose a significant danger to victims of domestic violence, and this is true no matter who owns the firearm. Research shows that a male abuser's access to a firearm increases the risk of intimate…

This guy is not in trouble because he delivered somebody's ballot successfully to the Board of Elections. He is in trouble because he committed voter fraud.
I think all we are doing is improving its operation and giving it the opportunity to actually work.
I think this question was settled in the 1960s and 1970s in a series of cases called the college student voting rights decisions.
Shouldn't we leave that to the people of California and North Carolina and Florida to decide, because all of them have their own prohibitions against voter fraud, which is a completely recognizable species of misconduct.
I am impressed by the provisions in H.R. 1 that deal with voter registration modernization, automatic voter registration, same-day registration, and so on.
I was quite amazed that when we first took this up in the Judiciary Committee there were people defending gerrymandering...
But your group is interested in free speech, right? I am not asking you an unfair question here.
I think the Supreme Court has foreclosed it both as to contributions and expenditures.
Do you favor disclosure to the shareholders of all political contributions by the CEOs of the company?
