cruz: mr. cucn you tell this committee about actual jim crow lows, how do -- how do they operate? >> sure, i have to say when the president of the united states throws around the cleaning up of elections by saying it's the new jim crow, it's offensive to the real thing. it's like people claiming racism as an a excuse to accomplish other goals and also diminishes occurrences of actual racism. i'm from virginia, i bring parts of the 1902 virginia constitution with me. article two, i urge the committee to accept this as record of real jim crow lows, it's about the franchise, poll taxes, property requirements, literacy requirements and runs around literacy requirements where whites get access to the vote where blacks could not. it allows those active in war for united states or confederate states to be registered to vote regardless of the other test or son of such person. that's called the grandfather clause. let me read to you the spirit of this constitution in article 9, section 140. i'm going to

cruz: yes.d: and my question is, if they have that and it now turns from a wave that goes out and comes back and we go, ok, this is silly, but by 1979 we get rid of this and go to reagan but now it is supercharged and it goes to a tsunami and can you stop it? sen. cruz: absolutely. ed: ok. sen. cruz: look, the left is about power and about government. the left are totalitarian, statist, they believe in government power. they want to control who you are, what you do, they want to control what you do with your money, what you say, your faith. they want to control every aspect of your life. and their brutal about enforcing it. that is why cancel culture exists, because they want to silence you. ed: right. sen. cruz: they use -- one thing to keep in mind is just that big is bad. big government is bad, big business is bad, big tech is bad, big hollywood is bad, all massive accumulations of power get abused. ed: right. sen. cruz: as conservatives, one of the great things we believe in is the individua

i like ted cruz, most of my colleagues hate ted cruz. i had a rick perry moment.y. the biden administration did shift. but ted cruz is going to freak out about biden administration and russia policy he should really maybe pay attention to what happened under last administration. >> there are other republicans pushing other things, but then they kind of go into a back and forth with the administration when the administration provides something to them, they let the nominees out. ted cruz is the only one who is picking an issue that the administration just isn't going to move on. so it's so, so, so fruitless. >> you remember years ago, that was bob menendez saying this, he held up an obama judicial appointee. do you remember that? >> no. >> which is incredibly unusual and that was unprecedented. bob me mendes is -- you can argue that this is a state department issue, maybe this is a bigger issue. but i'm just saying, i've seen a lot of politics when it comes to holding up nominations. great reporting, kylie. >> thank you. >> i'll try to remember my al franken. >> if

cruz: thank you. chair blumenthal: thank you, senator cruz. i haven't disputed this points that you make, but i will. in fact, this law has nothing to do with parental consent. it does not address parental notification. it does not outlaw ultrasound. i want to deal with the facts here, because i think we have heard from at least one of our witnesses about the inaccuracies and deception that was given to her. for example, that an abortion would cause infertility. informed consent is vital. informed consent about the facts is vital. to abortion services, just as it is to any medical procedure. and this bill in no way impedes informed consent. in fact, it is the opposite. it promotes truth telling. it promotes informed consent. many states have abortion counseling environment violates the principle of informed consent by requiring medical providers to disclose information that is irrelevant and entirely inaccurate in an effort to dissuade people from obtaining abortions. you have just heard one example from one of our witnesses. let me ask dr. pe
