I will be anxious to see how he plans to vote on this amendment because this is the clear way to make the provisions that protect family farmers permanent in the law, to keep it away from all of this abortion clinic politics, to keep it completely away from bankruptcy reform politics. This is the vote that will show either my colleagues are committed to protecting family farmers in this country or they are not.

I am a big supporter of the MeToo Movement. I think it is a wonderful thing, but it cannot be a substitute for going through the legal process.
I believe that we must listen to the claims of women who come forth with allegations of harassment, abuse, or misconduct.
If you look at my record throughout my whole life, from the day I started in the practice of law in a civil rights law firm, you will find nobody, or few people, who are more committed to the things that you all have talked about today.
