I believe competition is important.

I think that they don't do a good job of that, and I will give you an example in your own City of Chicago, of the Chicago Public Schools.

It often means that the less money you have, whether you are Chicago, Puerto Rico, or a small university trying to keep the doors open, the more money you have to pay.

I do think that we were surprised as well by the low number of people who took advantage of the Facility.

May I inquire as to how much time is remaining? The SPEAKER pro tempore (Mrs. Dingell). The gentleman from New York has 8 minutes remaining.

In the absence of preclearance, predictably the game of Whack-A-Mole has returned.

Despite evidence of the VRA's success, however, the Supreme Court in 2013, Shelby County, substituted its own judgment for that of Congress.

Many Americans, including our late beloved colleague John Lewis shed their blood in support of its passage.

The Voting Rights Act is rightly regarded by many as our Nation's most important civil rights law.

I am glad the gentleman recognizes that equality includes the right of each woman and man to make their own decision about their reproductive choices. There can be no equality of the sexes when one class of people is denied the ability to…
