I would love to give Mr. Kimmelman and Mr. Ryan a chance to quickly, very quickly, respond to some of the ideas about whether we should be using Title II or not.

I respect it but what I am saying is your efforts, as noble as they are, right now, are inadequate.

It is one of the cruelest ironies in America, that in the Internet, we have the most transformative and disruptive technology.

I am very concerned about sort of independent channels that offer sort of niche services being squeezed out of the market as a whole.

I rise today to introduce with my colleague Senator Dean Heller, legislation that would extend a critical and innovative program for our nation's veterans. Senator Heller and I urge our colleagues to consider The Assisted Living Program…

I rise to support the ``Not My Boss's Business Act,'' which will help to fix the recent Supreme Court Hobby Lobby decision by making it illegal for a company to deny their workers specific health care benefits, including birth control, as…

I do not believe in state preemption of municipal prerogatives.

This is important beyond belief.

I rise to speak about our Nation's broken criminal justice system, a system that has taken an unimaginable and I believe unsustainable toll on our Nation. The United States remarkably is home to between 4 and 5 percent of the entire…
