John Cornyn: “This has got to apply to every employer, doesn't it, if it's going to work reliably in a non-discriminatory way?”

We want to express our gratitude to Mr Blanche and his staff for working with us on this, and we look forward to voting to advance his nomination out of the Senate Judiciary Committee soon.

It would be a monumental mistake for Blanche to attempt to resurrect the $1.8 billion program in another form.

We are pleased that the Department of Justice has issued a formal order terminating the anti-weaponization fund.
