You cannot build trust if there is glaring instances of police disrespect for the minorities in communities.
I have never been on a panel where we have had this much police and law enforcement leadership at one time.
It is so important that we engage our community during non-confrontational or non-contentious times to break down barriers and form relationships.
If we do not do anything more today with you four, to me the most important thing is that you take back a message that there are people like myself who have been working in different capacities long before I came to Congress in race…
I have been here for five decades, and I can't recall a time when we have debated something so obviously harmful to seniors and working people in this country. This bill strips health care from 24 million people. It requires seniors to pay…
I just want everyone to know that I rise in support of this amendment. As we discovered through the Judiciary Committee's comprehensive copyright review process, the Copyright Office needs significant upgrades to its technology; so the…
I want to thank Mr. Clay for his discussion here. I think it is courageous and necessary. To begin with, the painting's removal by the Architect of the Capitol was an infringement on the free speech rights of the artist and on the…
I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. This amendment makes clear that nothing in the bill would impact the Library of Congress' mandatory deposit requirement. For over 100 years, the Library has built its world-class collection, in large…
It is my pleasure to yield 5 minutes to the gentlewoman from Texas (Ms. Jackson Lee), one of the most influential members of the Judiciary Committee.
I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Johnson), a distinguished member of the Judiciary Committee.
I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from California (Ms. Judy Chu).
I am pleased to yield 4 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Florida (Mr. Deutch).
I am pleased to yield 2 minutes to the gentleman from California (Mr. Cardenas).
Gentlemen, this is a very disturbing hearing for me because we know that there is a lot of inadequate health care, misdiagnosing, and sometimes no care at all.
I wanted to compliment you on it. I think this discussion with these distinguished witnesses would pass muster at an American Civil Liberties Union in itself.
It was President Nixon, as part of his war on drugs, that established the Drug Administration in 1973.
We must take action to strengthen our firearm laws by expanding background checks, by banning assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines.
We must go after, in the Drug Enforcement Agency, the major traffickers and move away from punishing the low-level street dealers and addicts with unnecessarily severe, mandatory minimum sentences.
Our Nation is a nation of immigrants. More than any other country, our strength comes from our own immigrant heritage and our capacity to welcome those from other lands.
I've been here a while and it's hard for me to recall a time when we've voted on something so obviously and willfully harmful to children, seniors and working Americans. This bill strips healthcare from 24 million people. It requires some…
One of your main concerns about H.R. 1667 is that it reduces moral hazard by absolving a financial institution's directors from liability.
In closing, I want to reiterate my support for this measure, H.R. 372. Now, I don't know what is happening on the other side, but many of its leaders voted against a substantively identical version of this bill in 2010, and that was…
How much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Michigan has 18 minutes remaining. The gentleman from Virginia has 21 minutes remaining.
I believe that meaningful oversight of the Department of Justice requires us all to be good stewards of taxpayer funds.
