I do my job as judge, but I also feel I have a responsibility to my communities to make certain that people's dreams are enlarged.

I would like to thank our colleagues, one of our colleagues on the Judiciary Committee, Representative Greg Stanton, and our former House colleague, now Senator Ben Ray Lujan, for their leadership on this important issue.

We should put them on a program like the EEOICPA program that was referenced before and give Downwinders and uranium miners healthcare coverage just equal.

It is a national shame, and I hope you will forgive me for not finding space to schedule this hearing.

That is just a pittance, and it is pathetic that our values are more towards protecting and taking care of our weapons than we are with taking care of the people who were adversely impacted by the testing of those weapons.

Thank you, Ms. Lee. I would ask unanimous consent to submit 60 letters and documents from civil rights groups and NGOs that were submitted today.

In short, words matter.

When politicians use terms like 'China virus' or 'kung flu'... it has the effect and intention of putting a target on the back of all Asian Americans.

I would like to ask that we have a moment of silence in memory of the individuals tragically killed, murdered, in Atlanta, Georgia.

Use of the right words of our leaders can help calm fears, reassure those feeling under threat.

The Committee on the Judiciary's Subcommittee on the Constitution, Civil Rights, and Civil Liberties will come to order.
