The Public Record
Chuck Schumer is an American politician serving as the senior United States senator from New York since 1999. A member of the Democratic Party, he has held the position of Senate Majority Leader since January 2021, making him one of the most prominent figures in the U.S. Senate. Schumer previously served in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1981 to 1999, representing New York's 9th congressional district. Throughout his career, he has focused on issues such as healthcare, infrastructure, and economic development, often advocating for policies that benefit working families and promote social justice.
My understanding is just that, that in the--even possibly in the first week when we get back, that the leader, having rule XIV'd it, which means he can bring it to the floor right away, can put it on the floor and, of course, then people…
It is really wrong for them to say, 'I want my protection to be so complete and so great that I am going to allow the patent trolls to continue.'
They want people to settle. They want the low-hanging fruit. They want to intimidate people.
Getting hit with a patent lawsuit is like being forced onto a highway that has only two exits, both of which exact a high toll.

I believe that vote November 21st, 2013, forever changed the way the Senate works when it comes to Executive appointments of judicial nominations and will do long-term damage to the judiciary as a whole because the most ideological will be…
I thought it was incredibly unfair. I thought it was a power grab by our Democratic colleagues that will change the nature of the judiciary for the rest of our lives.
Right. And I am sure you have thought about this, because you realize the danger Silk Road-type actors have to this appropriate new way of payment.
If Bitcoin continues to attract attention, mostly as a way to finance purchases on Web sites like Silk Road, it is going to find itself in the digital wasteland.
Good. Well, I would, again, be interested in your submitting the specifics in writing.
I think you will make a great Chair and your Brooklyn wisdom shines through.
Just related to that, but in a specific, some of my colleagues have criticized for keeping rates 'artificially low.'
Our greatest problem is that middle class incomes are declining in America for the first time in American history.
I am really worried about more bureaucracy getting in the way of doing FIMP, of doing Rockaway, of doing Fire Island.
