Republican speakers obviously have more regard for their politics and for the National Rifle Association than they do for the lives of our children. We see that every moment here, when they keep repeating the words that this is…

I want to excoriate as absolute nonsense, pernicious nonsense, what we just heard from Mr. Johnson, from Mrs. Lesko, and what I presume we will hear for the rest of the debate on this bill. Red flag laws are in effect in 19 States and the…

The evidence doesn't lie. California's rate of firearm mortality is among the Nation's lowest, with 8.5 gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2020, compared with 13.7 per 100,000 nationally and 14.2 per 100,000 in Texas. Gun safety laws work…

You say it`s too soon to take action too soon, my friends, what the hell are you waiting for?

It has not even been 24 hours since last mass shooting, and who knows how long until the next one? Too soon, my friends? What the hell are you waiting for?

It has not even been 24 hours since the last mass shooting.

My colleagues across the aisle seem to want to talk about everything but the subject matter of this bill, domestic terrorism. Mr. Speaker, I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentlewoman from North Carolina (Ms. Manning), to talk about…

I don't understand how you can look at the devastation in Buffalo and the manifesto left behind by the terrorist and not take this issue seriously. I now yield 3 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from South Carolina (Mr. Clyburn), the…

The Anti-Defamation League reported after a study last year that 80 percent of racist violence was from white supremacists--80 percent. Mr. Jordan should take heed of that. Mr. Speaker, I yield 5 minutes to the gentleman from Illinois (Mr…

Unfortunately, this system serves commutations poorly. It serves pardons even worse.

Because the Federal system lacks expungement opportunities for individuals, the only relief they can get from the collateral consequences of conviction is through the clemency process.

I hope that today's discussion provides us with proposals that will enable President Biden and his successors to apply the power of Executive Clemency as the Framers intended--as a tool necessary to the fair Administration of justice that…

Overturning Roe would remove from women the power to decide the fundamental question of whether to carry or terminate a pregnancy.

The decision to become a parent belongs to that individual.

Too often, we think of human trafficking as something that happens somewhere else, in other cities and in other countries, and not in our own communities.

Would it have helped you to have an attorney assigned to you while the criminal case against your trafficker was going on?

This bill will greatly reduce crime by redefining as not crimes things that are now considered crimes. And by releasing people in jail who should not be in jail, it will produce justice and it will reduce the expenses to the public. Mr…

I would command the attention of the gentleman to the sections of the bill that deal with all the different problems he raised. I yield 2 minutes to the distinguished gentleman from Tennessee (Mr. Cohen), a member of the committee.

Let me start by setting the record straight.

Yes, it certainly should be cut.

This private right of action is a critical means of holding government officials accountable.

Of course, we need the police and of course, we need the police to do their jobs and of course, we need the police to do their jobs legally.

I just want to point out that we don't need new drilling legislation. There are 6,000 leases which have been granted by the Federal Government which the oil companies are not drilling. They can drill. Madam Speaker, I now yield 2 minutes…

I would point out again, because some of my Republican colleagues seem not to hear it, that this is the law, as they say, but that several circuit courts say it isn't the law, so all this bill is doing is reaffirming what the law is…

I said that this was covered by the law, but several Federal circuit courts disagree. Therefore, it is not covered in those circuits, and that is why we need this bill. Madam Speaker, I yield 4 minutes to the gentlewoman from New Jersey…
