The exclusion of Delegate Norton, who is relegated to sitting in the audience today--and I want to welcome her and apologize for the rudeness my Republican colleagues are showing a colleague by refusing her request to be heard--is yet…

The minority has been limited to one witness only demonstrates just what a farce these hearings are.

The exercise of political power doesn't alter scientific fact.

The many Americans who see the world very differently, including millions of women who value their personal autonomy and their personal liberty, can be forgiven if this looks just like another battle in the Republican war on women.

To summarize, we can devote $20 million to Las Vegas-style conferences and administrative expenses or to services to prevent violence against women. That's the choice. Vote ``yes'' on the motion to recommit. I yield back the balance of my…

Is the gentleman aware that, if the equipment is not ready, then under the law it is not readily achievable and that it doesn't have to be done at that point and that the DOJ has already met with the industry and has told them this?

If this hearing had been held next week, they would have been here.

They have told this Committee on many occasions they require 2 weeks.

I must say I object to the tenor of your remarks just now.

The accessibility of swimming pools and other recreational facilities remains a problem for people with disabilities around the country.

I also ask unanimous consent to say that I have, since speaking earlier, read Mr. Eversole's prepared testimony, and in his prepared testimony he does reference the 2012 decision of the court, the Federal court in New York, so what I took…

I don't believe I ever at any time said that I thought it would be a good idea to hold a hearing on ACORN.

The evidence is and all--study after study shows that minorities, young people, low-income people are far less likely to have the kinds of State-issued photo IDs required by these laws.

Is there any justification in terms of accuracy? In other words, is it harder to get a gun card than--do you have to prove your residency more to get a gun registration than you do to get an in-State student voter?

The evidence that the States themselves put forward show that minorities will, in fact, be disproportionately harmed by these laws.

The Federal--the Justice Department hasn't enforced that provision.

I am the only Member here that was present when the Voting Rights Act of 1965... became law

I urge all of the Committee--all of the Members of the Committee on both sides of the aisle to join us in seeking the truth.

Without it, we cease to be the America that all of us believe in. I don't believe we can ever allow that to happen.

It was a reflection of our belief that the right to vote must be inviolate and that there are still too many challenges to making that a reality for all Americans, especially members of minority communities.

The right to vote in a free and fair election and the right to have our votes counted, is at the heart of our system of government.

This conduct is unbecoming of this Committee and of this House.

The Voting Section needs to make a first priority of protecting service members whose first priority is protecting all of us.

If we are going to turn these hearings into veritable able kangaroo courts, then we should drop the pretense that we are actually engaged in objective oversight or legitimate fact finding.

We are back again with another oversight hearing airing allegations, most of them demonstrably false, against the Department of Justice without inviting the Department of Justice to testify.
