“I thank the gentlewoman for yielding. Mr. Speaker, there is one thing about us Americans that separates us from the rest of the world: we have a Bill of Rights in this country, and it includes the Seventh Amendment, and my colleague, Mr. McEachin, just mentioned it, the Seventh Amendment: the right of trial by jury shall be preserved.

For too long, big banks have gotten away with taking advantage of their customers, from fake accounts to subprime mortgages. American consumers have suffered a great deal of harm at the hands of Wall Street, and now we have a rule that will help consumers fight back.

Let's fight this resolution.”
