We need to begin to reform this process immediately, for there are too many mothers and fathers and people who are seeking to do better in this nation.

The guiding post is that we must do something to reform the clemency and pardon process.

The time is running. That many people fighting social ills were caught up in the criminal justice system.

They have not contributed to crime; they've contributed to society's best. They have made an economic contribution to our engine of our economy.

The genesis of this hearing was absolute necessity, and the thousands that languish in prison in our Federal system that really warrant this response of a clemency or a pardon.

I hope that we will find as many facts as necessary to improve this process and to improve the criminal justice system.

Cybersecurity is not something you can see or actively prove--it is established by each moment of each day that a network or computing device remains free of breaches by adversaries.

I think changing elections impacts national security.

The filibuster should have been gone for voting rights. The filibuster certainly should be gone for denying the Ninth Amendment and the right to privacy, and also the rights to fundamental constitutional rights.

Every single Republican voted against the Women`s Health Protection Act, a simple bill that would again, allow women to be treated as human beings with humanity, dignity and human rights and women`s rights being respected.

The freedom of women in this nation has just been denied, that women do not have freedom, freedom over their own bodies, freedom over their own thoughts, over their own rights.

I have introduced bipartisan, bicameral legislation to address this problem.

Thank you very much.

These are people who are here legally, have followed all the rules, and still suffer because of a failure to process their applications in a timely manner.

The sky would be the limit. We could do great things on behalf of protecting the American people if this body would take one minute to get its Act together.

The political games that I think that we are experiencing have taken a new low.

I'm actually concerned about all of it. I'm upset about all of it. I don't just pick and choose winners and losers based on the politics of the day.

I believe, will go down as one of the worst moments in our history, and the trauma inflicted on those who have been torn apart from their families will be lifelong.

The largest threat to the United States is domestic terrorism and the increase in White supremacy.

I want to make sure that your administration also as they do their work; and I applaud them for their work.

It was the most criminal aspect of that policy, and I don't know how anyone could cite that as reasoned and reasonable.

To even suggest that the past administration had an immigration policy is absurd...

We can do much of our work together and I look forward to working with the Ranking Member on that.

The Federal government must take a large stand on behalf of all you.

We must rid ourselves of slavery.
