If Mr. Bannon wants to invoke executive privilege that he should come before Congress, there are other folks that have been subpoenaed, that are working with the Committee to determine what information they`re seeking out. I want to be…

I appreciate you coming before our committee here today and speaking on your focus on implementing aircraft certification reform.

What I have learned over the last few months is that the same cannot be said for the certification of new U.S. aircraft by various foreign aviation authorities.

And secondly, how can we in the Congress work with you and the FAA to address this issue? I mean, it impacts American jobs. It impacts safety. It impacts the environment.

I am very pleased now to recognize Congresswoman Jackie Speier, the sponsor of H.R. Res. 17 and ERA champion, for a brief opening statement.

If we certify the ERA, these cases would have very different outcomes.

I strongly agree with the scholars' assessment that the time limit is likely non-binding and that Congress clearly has the authority to extend or eliminate time limits if necessary.

We are here today because, despite the tremendous progress women have made, we are still deeply unequal in society.

If we were equal partners in our economy, it would boost our economy $4.3 trillion over the next 10 years.

The modern woman needs the ERA to provide protections against the rolling back of the advances in women's rights.

For every dollar a man makes, the average woman makes 82 cents, with black women earning 62 cents to the dollar.

Today equal rights can be too easily rolled back depending on the ideological leanings of Supreme Court justices, but constitutional amendments are permanent.

The ERA, if written into our highest law in an illegitimate amendment process, will not advance the position of women and girls in our society.

Or Jessica Lenahan, whose estranged husband kidnapped and murdered their three young daughters after police refused to enforce a restraining order.

Thank you, Chairwoman Maloney, for holding the first full committee hearing on the Equal Rights Amendment in over 40 years.

The pay gap between men and women has persisted for decades with the average woman being paid 80 cents for every dollar paid to men.

These consequences are already happening in states that are allowing male-bodied inmates who identify as female to transfer to the women's prisons.

Or how about Tracy Rexroat, whose starting salary at the Arizona Department of Education was $17,000 lower than her male counterpart?

It is past time to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment, which would guarantee equal rights for women under the Constitution.

I believe that abortion is healthcare.

What a disgrace for this to happen in the United States.

The ERA would harm women and girls, and I urge you to vote against its much-belated resuscitation.

After 100 years, women cannot wait any longer for full constitutional equality.

The Fourteenth Amendment creates a constitutional right to abortion. Do you want to repeal the Fourteenth Amendment? I do not.

Well, to them I ask, what do you say to Christy Brzonkala, who was raped by two football players at Virginia Tech?
