Because it is unconstitutional.

This is not a game as my colleague Liz Cheney keeps saying. This is not cat and mouse or hide and go seek. This is -- this is for real. There was a threat to topple the government of the United States of America and we got a bipartisan…

Quick update here, the chances that the same three judges would be drawn 57 percent of the time out of 375 bankruptcy judges is basically one over infinity.

So, we need random assignment of the judges, so we don't get the bankruptcy debtors essentially picking their own judges or the judges picking their own cases for different reasons.

We got to try to make this rather antiquated system work in more responsive way, because with Donald Trump and the fanatics following him now, they basically view the Electoral College as a collection of bobby traps that they`re going to…

I do not oppose third-party releases through the bankruptcy process. I oppose nonconsensual third-party releases where victims like myself do not have a choice.

I want to ask you this. They were asked the question by several of our colleagues including Ms. Cheney, about statements that you made, saying that the January 6 violent insurrection against Congress was akin to a normal tourist visit.

Watching the TV footage of those who entered the Capitol and walked through Statuary Hall showed people in an orderly fashion staying between the stanchions and ropes, taking videos and pictures. You know, if you didn’t know the TV footage…

Yes, you’re right, Lawrence. That was the unanimous sense of these witnesses that people were saying, Trump sent us.

When Kevin McCarthy comes out today and he calls my colleagues Pelosi Republicans, it`s clear that he sees a patriotic American acting beyond political party.

You mentioned in your testimony that there's some people who would prefer that all of this go away, that we not have an investigation, let's let bygones be bygones.

I think that's why it's very important that you all take this Committee seriously and get to the bottom of why this happened, and let's make it never happen again.

It`s really scary. But you are going to see in this select committee, real bipartisanship at work.

Success looks like an investigation that gets up the truth and, you know, we`re not going to be distracted by any of Kevin McCarthy`s circus or antics are sideshows here.

It`s one guy. It`s 80 or 90 percent of the Republican Party who has come under the psychological spell of Donald Trump.

This was a premeditated coordinated violent assault on Congress of the United States and, of course, it`s pathetic that you`ve got members of Congress and people like Kevin McCarthy who are doing everything they can to sabotage real…

If we show a fraction of the courage and the valor that you all demonstrated on January 6th, then we will hold the line in this Committee.

Democracy. You were 40 feet away, 40 yards, whatever. Especially with the razor-thin margins of Democrats and Republicans...

We are in a global civilizational emergency with climate change right now.

It is always on the backs of those that are burdened and the vulnerable communities that are taking the brunt.

The fossil fuel companies knew about the link between carbon emissions and climate change for many decades, and yet suppressed the evidence of it.

It is clear that we need to work to protect our communities against corporate interests that have no concern whatsoever for the public health.

Well, we got very lucky with Mike Pence. I mean, the way I see it, Chris, is we had a huge demonstration organized by the President. And inside that was another ring which was a violent insurrection and with the Three Percenters and the…

The problem is that the Electoral College is antiquated and obsolete. And there are all these moments of weakness where there are different booby traps that can be installed by hostile actors.

States are, of course, laboratories of democracy. It is a great thing about our federalist system that States can experiment.
