Bob Goodlatte: “I am not aware of any laws that would be subject to them. However, I would say to the gentleman, the way I read section…”

On the recordAugust 3, 1999
I am not aware of any laws that would be subject to them. However, I would say to the gentleman, the way I read section 3(b) of the amendment, that if they would be subject to challenge, they would have already been subject to challenge as being unconstitutional to begin with. I think that portion of this amendment reinforces the gentleman from California's concern that we do not have any unconstitutionally discriminatory treatment, but, if it exists, I think it would have been treatable under existing law and certainly would also be treatable under this law.
