Government tracking of everywhere we go is contrary to our reasonable expectation of privacy.

This is an unusual hearing in that I can't remember ACLU ever quoting Justice Alito before.

This question of cell phones and tracking locations are right smack up against the privacy considerations.

While I believe the power of eminent domain can and has been abused--particularly with respect to those lacking economic or political power--I have come to conclude that for the time being we should allow the states to craft responses…

This week, the House of Representatives is scheduled to take up the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act (CISPA). Among other things, the legislation would authorize open-ended sharing of threat information between certain private…

I don't like the Kelo decision of the Supreme Court, and neither do I like the bill that was put in for this...

While I believe that eminent domain can and has been abused, particularly with respect to those lacking this economic and/or political power...

They have really turned it into a public purpose clause or a public benefit clause.

In the wake of the Supreme Court's decision in Kelo v. City of New London, I have been concerned that states and municipalities could use this decision to expand their power of eminent domain--whether for the benefit of private parties or…

I agree very much with Congresswoman Maxine Waters, who represents one of the poorest congressional districts in an urban area...

Isn't it correct that there was objection to the Supreme Court decision in this matter because they added this new concept of economic development to expand the tax base?

Now, it can't be disputed, and Mel Watt has done an excellent job of this, that there has been an increase in the number of new Section 337 investigations over the years.

I think that the SHIELD Act is a flawed approach to litigation abuse reform.

It was Tom Perez's major priority from day one to restore the traditions of the Civil Rights Division.

To suggest otherwise to me is both inaccurate and unfair.

I am the only Member of this Committee that voted to pass the 1965 Voting Rights Act.

I think it suffers from the flaw that we just discussed, and that is it targets the actor and not the bad action.

I remain skeptical of current proposals to abuse patent litigation by reforming ITC legislatively.

His tenure as head of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice has been successful by any measure.

Our hearts go out to the people of the City of Boston and to the families and loved ones of all those who were injured in yesterday's attacks.

The patent law is not efficient, the other reason that we are here, 700,000 backlog.

I find it necessary to point out that the title of this hearing, 'Mismanagement at the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice,' is unnecessarily provocative and demeans the seriousness of the work we do on the Committee.

Fortunately, his record can withstand this partisan attack.

That is true mismanagement, marginalizing the career experts, politicizing the decision making process, and ultimately breaking the law.

Instead of attacking Perez, we ought to get back to the work of strengthening civil rights and voting rights laws in this country.
