John Conyers actually said...

"I call on this Subcommittee to address these issues by holding hearings and considering legislation concerning topics such as (1) the use of lethal force by state and local police departments."

"We cannot ignore the fact that we have a crisis involving use of force by police in this country."

"We all agree that the exploitation of the patent process and abusive patent litigation practices must be stopped."

"Unfortunately, H.R. 9 goes too far in its approach. And, for that reason, I continue to have serious concerns with this legislation."
