Mr. Nadler, thank you for this hearing, which is extraordinary, because it is the first hearing on gun violence in more than 8 years in the House of Representatives.

Him having to put this into the record is something that should be addressed.

I believe if we start this process at a younger age we can spur political participation and engagement in all Americans.

Access and transparency, I know we can all agree, in our voting system is vital to the integrity of our democracy.

Voting really is a foundational right and it is essential that there are as few barriers as possible for registration and participation in our democracy.

I am so excited about supporting this piece of legislation.

We have been calling on the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee to bring this important legislation before the committee for a vote, but he has refused to act. Democrats have taken the unusual step of invoking House rule XI, clause…

I am a proud cosponsor of this legislation, and I thank Mr. Jeffries for his outstanding leadership on this issue.

The gentleman from New York, Mr. Nadler, for his opening statement.

I commend the subcommittee's chairman, Jim Sensenbrenner, and the ranking member, Sheila Jackson Lee, for holding this hearing today.

If you want to allow gambling in small licensed games, take the government out of it, eliminate the aspect of a house...

Yes. The Medicaid decision said you cannot draft the local government to exercise a function for the Federal Government, which this would seem to do also.

President Trump's brazen attempt at political interference in this area is completely unacceptable, and we should all say so.
