This division can and should play an extraordinarily important role in our country in the great and never-ending quest for equality and democracy.

This division can do better. It is striking as well that it acts within the context of a highly politicized Department of Justice, grossly so.

There is no private civil rights organization that can replace the resources of the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice.

the frustration around the country is a reflection of that.

The attorney general has said when it comes to voting that elections have been--that have been held with mail have found substantial fraud and coercion. That is a lie.

This Congress can restore the strength of the Voting Rights Act to enact the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act in his name, in his honor, and carrying forward that legacy.

It is clear why this administration has interest in suppressing the Census.

That is despicable because diversity is an important part of what America is about, giving people opportunities.

the court has lost and continues to lose the respect that it once had as an independent body that determined cases by the law instead of by politics.
