cardin: mr. president, thank you very much. i rise in strong opposition to the nelson-hatch amendment. and let me start off by saying that i support a woman's right of choice. it's a constitutionally affirmed right. and i understand how difficult and divisive this issue is. that is why the underlying bill that we have before us carries out the compromise that has already been reached between the pro-choice and pro-life supporters. it represents maintaining the federal prohibition on funds, federal funds for abortion but allows a woman to pay for abortion coverage through use of her own funds. that's the current law and that's what the underlying bill makes sure that we continue. many of us thought that the health care debate is critically important, it's controversial. let's not bring the abortion issue into the bill. the nelson-hatch amendment would go beyond that. it would restrict a woman's ability to use her own funds for coverage to pay for abortions. it blocks a woman from using their personal funds to purchase insurance

cardin: can i have two more minutes? is that snob thank you. -- is that possible? thank you. if people are able to maintain their existing coverage, we have to act. that's why the american medical association supports the bill. this bill will help the medicare population much it strengthens medicare, as i pointed before. that's why the aarp supports it. it will provide annual physicals for our seniors. this bill is important for our business owners an will no longer be discriminated by paying 20% more than the comparable large companies pay for an insurance product. mr. president, this bill is good for marylanders. it's -- it's good for every american. it moves us toward universal coverage. the bill is not perfect. there are things -- i'm disappointed by some of the things that are in the bill, some of the things that didn't make it into the bill. but, mr. president, this bill establishes the framework for universal, afordable quality care for every american. it speaks to the values of our nation. i'm proud to support this legislation and i know that we will look back that th

as noted by cardinal daniel dinardo, the archbishop of galveston, houston, and the u.s. conference of the committee on pro-life activities, allowing, quote -- "individuals to opt out of abortion coverage actually underscores how radically the underlying senate bill would change abortion policy." excluding elective abortions from overall health plans is not a privilege that individuals should have to seek as an exception to the norm. in all other federal health programs, excluding abortion is the norm. and numerous opinion polls show that the great majority of americans do not want abortion coverage." unquote. additionally, this provision does nothing to prevent one state's tax dollars from being used to fund abortions in other states. in other words, tax dollars from nebraska or utah could be paying for abortions in california or new york. the reid amendment also creates a new public option that will be run by the office of personnel management, o.p.m., and for the first time creates a federally funded and managed plan that will cover elective abortions. should this elec

consent request to give senator lautenberg eight minute and myself to minutes followed by senator cardin for five. >> without objection so ordered. the senator from new jersey. >> mr. president, throughout my service in the senate on have been a strong supporter for health care reform. but we can't allow reform to be used as an excuse to roll back women's rights they have had for almost a half a century. and that is why i strongly oppose the amendment offered by my friend, the senator from nebraska. i think that he's wrong. what this amendment does is remove a woman's right to make her own decision as a practical matter. it is to prohibit any of the health plans on exchange for covering a portion and would ban coverage for women who don't get a dime and federal spending. women's reproductive rights or always been challenged here in the congress. what about maine's reproductive rights? -- men's reproductive rights. let's turn the table. what if we were to vote on a viagra amendment, restricting coverage for male reproductive services? the same rules would apply for viagra as being propose

carter: i learned a long time from court reporters talking on top of each other is a cardinal sin for court reporters. i worked with them for now going on 30 years of my life. so let's don't talk over each other. seriously, that's exactly right. there is another crime in false swearing on a federal form. you know what? it may be a mistake. i'm not saying mr. geithner wasn't so busy. he's a busy man that he forgot. he forgot. it's convenient if you read the newspaper report when they caught him on 2003 and 2004, he took care of it. he should have had a memory jolt when he got caught in 2003 and 2004 that he really didn't do it in 2001 or 2002. he didn't have that memory jolt. he paid that and got ready to be secretary of the treshry. somebody said, wait a minute, what about 2002 and 2003? -- 2001 and 2002, went back and paid that. i don't know. it looks like special privileges to me. . it's about the rule of law that keep ours society together. if we start waiving it for individuals or groups or whatever, once we start down that path, who makes that decision and what does it do to the

every one of those things was a cardinal sin. he pulled it off because of some perfect storm of what he was and what the case was in that moment but i really do think the lesson that i took from carter phillips is don't be too smart. go in and be safe and argue the case the way you'd argue respectfully in front of a court. >> anyone else want to weigh in on this question? okay. so let me ask you a question, as you were describing the casey case and katherine's arguments itoundedike s w her guns. this is the argument i want to make and despite all of your efforts to get me to deviate from these arguments i'm going to stick to my guns here. in contrast, charles' description of bush vs. gore and his quotes from ted olson suggest if the justices suggest they want to go in a direction, you're going to follow them in that direction. so how do you reconcile this? is your case the anomaly here? how can we best understand oral? >> if you know katherine, you know that she is stubborn. i mean, she was and she remains very committed to her c

patrick's cathedral in new york by the cardinal to receive the title of dama malta. one of the catholic church's highest honors. moreover, mrs. blute also served as a dedicated board member of various community organizations, some which have been mentioned, including the nazareth home for boys in massachusetts and the muster seed home in worcester, massachusetts. she was the trustee of the shrewsbury library as well as her membership in the shrewsbury guard club, the lady's ax ilry of st. vincent's hospital and part of the medical society. mrs. blute spent several years volunteering for aid to incarcerated mothers. as so eloquented stated by her beloved husband, robert, mrs. blute's lifelong ambition was to, quote, perform each of the works of mercy, to feed the hungry, to help the poor, to visit the prisoner and give aid to the sick and the stranger. mrs. blute's striving purpose was evidence time and time again through her many good deeds. among them was the kindness and generosity that she displayed toward lucy huang, a vietnamese immigrant, whom she took in her h

senator cardin. >> mr. chairman, thank you very much.rst, let me thank secretary lew and ambassador eikenberry and general petraeus for your service. you all are providing extraordinary talent to our nation and we thank you very much. general petraeus, i just really want to concur in your assessment of our military, the men and women who are serving under extremely difficult circumstances are the best in the history of america. and i appreciate the leadership. just to give you one example, i had a chance to talk to a maryland serviceman who is in afghanistan and he gave testimony to your assessments. and it was a -- just wonderful opportunity to see the spirit, see the commitment, and see the difference that our servicemen are making, our service people are making. so during the holiday time, particularly, we can never express our appreciation enough, sacrifices are tough anytime of the year. during the holidays, they're even more remarkable. and so i just really want to express that at this hearing. amazing how many of our senators have

also, i want to thank senator shaheen, senator murray, senator gillibrand joined by senators harkin, cardin, dodd, and others to really come to the floor and help women with this battle. the fact is that women have different health needs than men, and these needs often generate additional costs. women of child-bearing age spend 68% more in out-of-pocket health care costs than men. most people don't know that, but it's actually true. and so we believe that all women, all women should have access to the same affordable preventative health care services as women who serve in congress, no question. the amendment offered by senator mikulski -- and she is a champion for us -- will ensure that that is, in fact, the case. it will require insurance plans to cover at no cost basic preventative services and screenings for women. this may include mammograms, pap smears, family planning, screenings to develop -- to detect postpartum depression, and other annual women's health screenings. in other words, the amendment increases access to the basic services that are a part of every woman's health care nee

five minutes to senator cardin. the presiding officer: the senator from maryland. mr. cardin: first let me thank my colleague, senator mikulski, for her leadership on this issue. i strongly support her amendment for the reasons that she said. this is a very important point about providing preventive health services to the women of america, a critically important part of our strategy not only to bring down costs in health care, but to have a health care system that is fair in america. and, madam president, i've been listening to my colleagues on the other side of the aisle talk about the underlining bill. they talk about it as if this is a static situation. many of the criticisms i hear about the underlining bill are criticisms about our current health care system. i can tell you people in maryland, many of whom are finding it difficult to find affordable coverage today and are outraged what's happening with the private insurance companies, the attitude they're taking as senator mikulski pointed out, denying coverage on preexisting conditions or posing arbitrary caps. a

cardin proposes amendment 2878. mr. reid: i ask that further rearing of the amendment be waived. the presiding officer: without objection, so ordered. mr. reid: i ask for the yeas and nays. the presiding officer: is there a sufficient second? there appears to be a sufficient second. the yeas and nays are ordered. mr. reid: i ask the clerk to report amendment 3292. the clerk: the senator from nevada mr. reid proposes amendment 3292 to amendment 2878. mr. reid: mr. president, it's my understanding that senator mcconnell and i have agreed that -- i should i understand, we've agreed that the time until 9:30 will be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders. and at 9:30 we'll go into -- as we have worked in recent days, into having blocks of time until our caucus at -- until 12:30. the presiding officer: under the previous time the time until 9:30 is equally controlled between the leaders or designees, and the time until 5:30 will be alternated in one hour block of sometimes with the majority controlling the first -- mr. reid: mr. president? i would ask everyone to acknow
