Chuck Schumer: “I say in conclusion to my colleagues that this is an extremely important amendment to keep a bipartisan law, the FACE…”

“I say in conclusion to my colleagues that this is an extremely important amendment to keep a bipartisan law, the FACE law, alive and well. If we don't pass this amendment, there will be hundreds and hundreds of instances where people perpetrate violence, and violate the FACE law, and they will not be held accountable. Let me repeat again what the Nuremberg Files people, who list Members of this body as people who ought to be looked at, say: The judgment in this case, in my view, is not only . . . non-priority unsecured debt but fully dischargeable debt. Even a car loan has priority over your judgment. That makes a mockery of the rule of law in this country. This is not a pro-choice or a pro-life law. This is the law that says those who seek violence, threat, and intimidation against legal clinics in America because they somehow feel they have a moral superiority to every one of us will be punished for their actions. It is a desperately needed proposal. I urge my colleagues to support it. I yield the floor.”
