Jamie Raskin
The Public Record
Jamie Raskin is an American attorney, law professor, and politician serving as the U.S. Representative for Maryland's 8th congressional district since 2017. A member of the Democratic Party, Raskin has been an advocate for various progressive policies, including healthcare reform and civil rights. He gained national attention for his role in the impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump, where he served as a lead impeachment manager during the Senate trial in early 2020.
This is not a partisan investigation. We were created under House Resolution 503 after, I am afraid, the gentleman and his colleagues voted to thwart a totally bipartisan, independent outside commission made up of five Democrats and five…
More than 800 Americans have come to testify before our committee, the minority leader should be notified before he leaves the Chamber. Four of them have categorically refused and blown off the subpoenas of the U.S. House of…
I do want to thank my friend from Pennsylvania. Sometimes when I hear him in the committee, I think about another great Republican who served in the House of Representatives from Pennsylvania, Thaddeus Stevens. But today, my friend let me…
I wanted to go back to something else that the minority leader said in echo of the minority floor leader's points. They cling to the suggestion that there is no valid legislative purpose being conducted by the January 6th Select Committee…
Thank you for writing this beautiful book, 'Ruby Bridges Goes to School', and thank you for defending everybody's academic and intellectual freedom.
I would also just ask you to read page 59 in my book, We the Students about Board of Education v. PICO, which dealt with just precisely the process you are talking about, but where the Supreme Court still said you can't strip books from…

The ultimate expression of cancel culture was what took place on January 6, where 900 people entered this building unlawfully.
neither teachers nor students shed their First Amendment rights at the schoolhouse gate.
Nobody has been more patient than the great ranking member of this committee, Nancy Mace.
the removal of books from the school library affected a form of political and ideological thought control, totally antithetical to the First Amendment of the Constitution.
I think that this kind of hatred is learned and entirely preventable, but the bullying has only been amplified as book bans have become more pervasive.
If there is any fixed star in our constitutional constellation, it is that no official, no matter how high or petty, shall prescribe what shall be orthodox in matters of politics, religion, nationalism, or other matters of opinion, or for…
I believe that words have a lot of power and that they can teach us empathy and strengthen our democracy.
I think students have their right to check out age-appropriate material from their libraries, whether or not it contains material that's divisive.
If 90% of success in life, is just showing up, then 90% of acting in contempt of Congress is not showing up.
Now, tomorrow, I`m taking to the floor contempt motions against Dan Scavino and Peter Navarro who have not given us a single document and have not spent one minute before the committee interacting with complete contempt for the Congress…
the tweets spoke for themselves. Donald Trump was trying to inflame the mob and further unleash its fury against Mike Pence.
It`s what the political scientists call a self-coup, where the President engages in a coup against the constitutional system.
