now it is back with the judge and we are seeing the senate judiciary committee has real questions abouten to some of senator peter welch's questioning of one of the republican witnesses. >> why in the world would the president of the united states whose got a lot of things to deal with decide that person a or person b should have the irs go after them? what world would that be legitimate? >> it is not. >> so should he or she get immunity for that? >> no. >> all right, what about the professor's recitation of nixon's focus ongoing after jews in government? >> again. no. >> so, no immunity for that. >> correct. >> but under this decision, professor? >> i think this is what is left open by the decision. because the supreme court capaciously defined these core constitutional powers as absolutely immune. >> andrew, i don't see anything in the decision that prevents donald trump from sitting in the white house reading any tax return he wants. of anyone in the country he hates. and then ordering an investigation prosecution. >> so, you played a clip which was really remarkable. because that is

i sit on the judiciary committee and on the finance committee. both committees have been engaged in investigative activities. the judiciary committee gave chairman durbin subpoena authority, and that investigations are being pursued with the power of that subpoena authority. i would note that the power of that subpoena authority has been somewhat limited by the loud declarations by republican senators that the subject of those subpoenas should not comply with them, and that they would never allow them to be enforced if the subjects refused to respond. so, i hope and pray that the table, when the house is issuing subpoenas in the space, that aren't subject to the senate filibuster. on the finance side, the finance committee develop the information that the quarter million dollar loan for justice thomas's motorcoach was never repaid. some interest was paid, then all payments stopped. we can today to look into the final facts of what actually took place. but no principal on a quarter million dollar loan appears ever to have been repaired. harlan cro

a member of the senate judiciary committee. officially welcome you to the table. >> senator, while we were waiting for you, we had the same question which is help us understand how a hearing like this really brings about reform or change when it comes to this immunity question? >> i think it begins by shedding a big spotlight on the issue. the funny business happening in nebraska you talked about, the people have a right to know. for as much as we responded and reacted to the supreme court's immunity ruling in congress and in the political circles, i think the general public understands just how significant this is. giving any president of the united states carte blanche to do what they want and get away with it? imagine what would happen in a second trump admin if the first administration is any indicator. the founding fathers, this democracy with three equal branches of government and proper checks and balances and the supreme court undermines one of the most significant. shedding light on the hearing this week because what w

official told the judiciary committee that the biden-harris policies have made immigration enforce. more dangerous, more difficult to carry out, and less efficient overall. the flood of illegal mass migrations at our southern border has thinned the ranks of i.c.e. officers available to enforce laws within the interior because so many have been siphoned off to process illegals being allowed into our country. when constituents ask me, how could this be happening to their communities? i have to remind them nay voted for biden and harris this is exactly what they voted for and if that surprises them they weren't paying attention. in 2019, kamala harris told the aclu she would slash funding for immigration detention and close private immigration detention centers. and as abc news has been forced to confess, harris did in fact endorse taxpayer funding to provide transgender surgeries for illegal alien december thaned in the united states. americans are beginning to realize the severe damage to -- severe danger to public safety posed to cities and states that refuse to notify i.c.e. so dan

back to my office one day at the judiciary committee there's a young woman going to all the papers ony desk. when i said excuse me? is there a reason you're reading the papers on my desk question she said yes i am a student here and i am setting the judiciary committee and want to see how you decide things so i thought i would come in i got a little annoyed. i was about to say something rather biting or slightly unpleasant the thought crossed my mind maybe she is a constituent. [laughter] guess i was more polite and politics is that it's a phone call from the mayor of wister's will the secretary of defense which will he answer first? i know it's not going to be the secretary of defense. the republican democrat with the reaction is what will the paper say? will the newspaper say what will my constituents think? how will it be bill this is going to make a more popular over here, they are, that's really politics. i do not see that on the supreme court in 28 years i did not see it i did not save a fortune savs over the court of appeals either. so how about not politics but ideology? i thi

if anybody should have it, it should be the judiciary committee. i mean -- >> absolutely.olutely. as i said, 382 terrorists. that's not our number, that is dhs, mayorkas, of course, i thought he should have been fired long ago. but he doesn't have a handle on this. he doesn't have a handle on the number of children that have been lost. he doesn't have a handle on the secret service. the list of failures continue to grow. it makes our country less safe. it makes our communities less safe. it makes our families less safe because these gangs are committing robberies in every state across this country. they are endangering people. people are being harmed. it is time for dhs, it is time for this administration, to actually do something about securing the border. the border czar didn't want to do it. somebody needs to do this. >> harris: they couldn't fire -- she haven't fired mayorkas and harris hasn't talked about doing that either. they are supposed to be together. no daylight between them. it came out of biden's mouth. they are close on all the big decisions that affect our

it was during a hearing in the senate judiciary committee on hate crimes.m muslim advocates, jewish advocacy groups, talking about anti-semitism specifically on college campuses. i want you to hear the interaction between senator kennedy and this witness for yourself. >> you support hamas, do you not? >> senator, oddly enough, i'm going to say thank you for that question because it demonstrates the purpose of our hearing today. >> let's start first with a yes or no. >> hamas is a foreign terrorist organization that i do not support. i think it's exceptionally disappointing that you're looking at an arab witness, i do not support hamas. >> you can't bring yourself to say you don't support unra, hamas. you should hide your head in a bag. >> reporter: anyone who watched that interaction, whether you were in the room or watching as a viewer on the screen could very clearly tell that berry said she does not support hamas, hezbollah or any foreign terrorist organization. kennedy defending those remarks, even a couple of minutes ago to my colleague, he said she su

twice, working for senator ted kennedy on the judiciary committee and instance in the executive branch in the u.s. army and in the antitrust division of the justice department. and finally, as an assistant prosecutor in the watergate special prosecutor's office. not to mention his time on the sentencing commission while on the court of appeals. he is also much more than a lawyer, having had a major role in the design and construction of the magnificent courthouse in boston while he was chief judge, which led to his appointment to the pritzker architecture prize committee, which awards excellence in architectural designs from around the world. on top of this, he reads and delivers lectures in french, which was not the language he grew up speaking in san francisco. justice breyer is a man for all ranges of government as well as a true 21st-century renaissance man. he will be joined today by alan morrison, the lerner family associate dean for public interest in public service law who is known justice breyer for more than 45 years. alan is completing his 50th year at the law school where h

yes, in its letter to the judiciary committee, the house representatives. he writes that the white house expressed great disappointment when the media platform resisted, he also expressed regret that he hid content regarding hunter biden before the 2020 elections, which the fbi said could have been russian disinformation, based on this, dmitry, do you think elon musk is next? in fact, when i hear in the media such as repentance, there zuckerberg and so on. the united states of america, this whole story with the so-called repentance is an attempt to simply once again to deceive people who use different applications, here to increase the level of trust in the same facebook. well, you see, it seems to me, a kind of repentance, as we call it, this is probably an understanding that we are not talking about a specific character, in general about the future of the work of this industry, so look, here durov says , apple has the right rules, google has the right rules, in principle, healthy rules, there is no distribution, no appeal and so on, but the interpretation of the rules and the applicati

yes, in his letter to the house judiciary committee, he writes that the white house expressed strongintment when the media platform resisted. he also expressed regret that he hid content regarding hunter biden before the 2020 election, which the fbi said could be russian disinformation. and so, based on from this, dmitry, what do you think, elon musk is next? in fact, when i hear in the media. like zuckerberg's repentance and so on, it's actually funny, because the official position of the american authorities is the following: if a social network is not controlled specifically by the us government, meaning completely, then this social network has no right to operate on us territory at all, that's why tiktok is now blocked in a number of states, but the corporation itself was told, that its activities... on the territory of the united states, it should belong specifically to the united states of america, and this means that both the social network of mask and the social network of zuckerberg and other all sorts of these characters with different surnames, this is property in the unit

resolution 1455 in lieu of the amendment in the nature of a substitute recommended by the committee on the judiciary printed in the bill and an amendment in the nature of a substitute consisting of rules committee print 114-47 shall be considered as adopted and the bill as amended is considered read. the bill as amended shall be debated one hour and equally divided and controlled by the ranking member of the committee of the judiciary or their respective designees. the gentleman from california, mr. mcclintock, and the gentleman from new york, mr. nadler, each will control 30 minutes. the chair recognizes the gentleman from california, mr. mcclintock. mr. mcclintock: thank you. i would ask all members have five legislative days in which to revise and extend their remarks and to insert extraneous material on h.r. 7909. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. mr. mcclintock: and i yield myself as much time as i may consume. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. mcclintock: thank you. mr. speaker, last week the judiciary committee heard from moms whose daughters were brutally as

i heard your testimony in judiciary committee. i he mentioned to you then as i will repeat now that in my district we had a young man, an american citizen, we caught. his m.o. was raping undocumented women in a local apartment complex. he raped probably 20 women that reported being raped before he was caught. i'm about to say something i never said in public, but my spouse, my wife, used to be a marathoner. good five, six years ago she went out for a jog, local river bed. was attacked by an s.o.b. go a phone call about 9:15 in the morning by local police saying she had been attacked. i don't know how she did it, but she broke loose from his strangle on her neck before she passed out. just enough to scream for help. your story is one that has -- should not be forgotten and should be remembered by all of us because when these heinous crimes against women, rape, murder are perpetrated i don't care which side of the party you are on. i don't care which side of the immigration issue you're on, we have to stop this. with or without docu

it was a tragic moment for the judiciary committee.etted on the testimony of these victims' parents. as a father of daughters, it is -- it hits home to hear about how the open border policies of the biden, harris administration have impacted lives and we have to bring it home to democrats on the committee who refuse to listen, who refuse to acknowledge that these open of bborder policies are hurting americans, killing young people, bringing in drugs, bringing in human trafficking, sex trafficking, gangs, violence, and so we have to bring these horrible stories right to them to their doorstep and hopefully they will listen and they can change their policies but right now these open border policies are still having an impact right here in this country and americans are tired of it. cheryl: what was your reaction to jerry nadler falling asleep? >> you know, jerry nadler unfortunately is -- just didn't pay attention to the testimony and it's very unfortunate that he was not just rivetted by the dramatic testimony that really, really had an

like mayabri, shahin was invited to the hearing of the us senate judiciary committee. a young mother whose 6-year-old son was shot by a palestinian alone with 26 blows the knife was killed. azadeh taheri of the sed and broadcasting news agency. thank you for your attention and cooperation with this news section. ladies and gentlemen, greetings to you, welcome to football magazine from tehran broadcast by khabar network. have a nice time. i am having a conversation with mr. mehdi nasibi , the respected director of azadi sports complex in tehran. hello and good evening. you are very welcome. i offer greetings, courtesy and respect to your excellency and colleagues. also, dear viewers, first of all, i would like to congratulate you on the birth of imam muhammad mustafa , peace be upon him and his family and peace be upon him, as well as imam jafar sadiq, and i also offer my condolences for the events that happened it happened in lebanon. i am at your service . thank you very much. dear mr. nasimi, the presence of mr. nasimi is actually quite clear that the subject of our

the counsel at the judiciary committee and there isst a young woman going through all the papers on my desk. i said excuse me, is there a reason you are reading all the papers on my desk in and she said yes. i'm -- a student here and i'm studying the judiciary committee and i want to see how you decide things so i thought i'd come in and -- read the papers. got a little annoyed. and i was about to say something rather biting or slightly unpleasant. and then the thought crossed my mind, huh. maybe she's a constituent. [ laughter ] hmm. yes. i was more polite. and politics is that. kennedy gets a phone call from the mayor of booster at the same time as from the secretary of defense which will he answer first? i know. it's not going to be the secretary of defense. and -- and the -- the republican, democrats, the reaction to this and what will the newspapers say, what will they think and is it going to make me more popular? that's really politics and i don't see that on the supreme court. in 28 years i didn't see it and i didn't see it for 24 years either. >> how about politics but ideolog

in "focus" now chip roy sits on the house rules, budget and judiciary committees. to have you in "focus." let's start with the focus on the children here. ist has always been that way from the drug cartels to the people who illegally cross into our country. the sex trafficking. now they take american children. what do you know about this that you can tell the american public? >> harris, great to be on. this is one of those things people say we're trying to exploit for political reasons. the fact is we have a choice to make as a country. are we going to live in a safe country or allow our country to become basically a third world dangerous place? what we're seeing right now 30 miles from right here. i'm in the capitol building. in virginia you had an individual who pulled a teenage girl into a car posing as a law enforcement officers and abducted her. it is happening in realtime across the country. he was from peru and released in december by this administration into the united states purposefully. this isn't about just open borders. that's almost a misnomeer now. t

in front of the judiciary committee tomorrow, next week. i will clear the week.y days do you need for me to testify about the pardon? he was the first president since abraham lincoln that testified in front of congress without a subpoena. he voluntarily went before congress and got grilled by the judiciary committee and the important thing is he knew he would get a fair shake. he trusted congress. he had served in congress. those were his colleagues. some of them were democrats. that did not matter. there was a trust then that he would get a fair shake and so he went and testified before congress. the other thing that's important, he felt it was an act of grace and mercy for nixon to heal the nation, and at the same time, he issued amnesty for the thousands of draft dodgers that had gone to canada during the vietnam war and been separated. he thought it was also a moment to heal the scars of vietnam. so both of these things happened side-by-side. it was a tough time in american history to be a president, but he had to make some tough choices. peter: steve ford, y

just today republicans use their control of the judiciary committee to advance a bill that would weaken the bipartisan safer communities act, reinvigorate the black market for guns, and reopen the online and private sale loophole. that legislation would make it so that convicted felonies -- felons, domestic abusers and other dangerous persons who are prohibited from possessing a gun could easily get one without a background check. and it would make it so that unlicensed sellers could once again profit from endangering our communities. and it doesn't stop there. not only have they sought to unravel our gun laws through legislation and our courts, but our republican colleagues have also sought to defund the bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives. the primary agency tasked with enforcing our gun laws, including by helping state and local enforcement -- local law enforcement solve violent crimes and keep guns out of the wrong hands. the cumulative effect of these efforts is clear. we know from headline after headline that it is far too easy for a violent -- for violent individu

meta corporation, banned in russia, recognized as extremist, zuckerberg wrote a letter to the judiciary committee of the us house of representatives, where admitted to serving as a de facto censor for the biden administration during the pandemic. in the biden administration, including the white house , senior officials repeatedly pressured our teams over several months in the first year to censor certain content about covid-19, including humor and satire, and expressed great disappointment when we did not comply. i believe that government pressure was wrong, and i regret that we did not speak out more candidly about it. during the pandemic, facebook has deleted over 20 million. it was white who represented trump at the republican national convention this year, and it was he who came up with the idea of ​​holding a charity fight between zuckerberg and his billionaire rival elon. and malicious slander , i have no doubt that the us government is coordinating this. only biden's insane justice department would use legal mechanisms to achieve its goals. durov recently spoke about the fbi getting close

i served on the senate judiciary committee for more than two decades including as chair for the past three and a half years. during that time i have evaluated and voted on more than 1,000 judicial nominees. the record is clear, president biden's nominees to the federal bench represent the best. every single one -- every single one of president biden's 208 judges so far has received at least a qualified rating from the american bar association, an indication that their peers find them to be high in integrity, competence and judicial temperament. something that also stands out about president biden's nominees, aside from the exceptional qualifications is the professional and demographic diversity they bring. we've made history in the senate judiciary committee and in the senate confirming more black women to the federal circuit courts than all of the previous presidents of the united states combined. and, of course, we confirmed the first ever black woman to serve on the supreme court, justice ketanji brown jackson with hispanic spanish month this weekend, i would like to celebrate his

if what the senator from illinois and chairman of the judiciary committee is offering is for us to have a full committee hearing and mark-up on this bill, i woulded lover that -- i would love that and glad pli entertain that -- gladly entertain that. tragically, we've seen a deviation from that same practice to which he tributes great -- attributes great significance, understandably, today. fully 94% of all legislative matters passed by this body are passed by this same procedure i'm attempting to utilize here today, by unanimous consent. the way it works, essentially somebody makes a request, and they ultimately come down to the floor, like i've done today, say let's call up and pass this bill. why do that? well, in many instances committee chairmen have somewhat stingy what bills they'll hold hearings and markups. we've been unable to get a hearing or mark-up set on this bill. so this bill, like so many others, in fact like 94% of all legislation passed by this body, comes to the senate floor today without the benefit of having had either a hearing or mark-up. that doesn't stop the 94

i was on the judiciary committee when chairman lahey and ranking member graham got through the judiciary committee and cleared the senate floor with a very significant veto-proof majority. a bipartisan immigration reform. and we were hearing regularly from chris murphy at least on the subject of the murphy/sinema/langford negotiations we helped would produce bipartisan immigration reform. the bill we passed through the senate was killed by speaker boehner. he admitted it. i'm not accusing him of anything he would not say. the recent bipartisan measure was killed by president trump, who told the republicans, walk away from what you are guy negotiated. and they did. here is what i think we can agree on. the president has proposed tens of additional billion dollars in enforcement. we should be able to agree on that. there are ways to detect fentanyl coming through our ports and we need to invest in and deploy that technology. i think we can agree on that. we ought to be able to agree the way in which we manifest humanity and we are not putting children in cages. and i think we have got a lo

i think if you look back at harris and her sort of arc in the senate on the judiciary committee, it took her about three quarters to make bill barr, jeff sessions and brett kavanaugh squirm. i would give her about five minutes to see what approach she's taking and what strategy she plans to deploy. trump won't be the story. i know he likes to always be the story, but trump will be trump. i think i'll be interested to see what abc and the moderators' approach is tonight and what vice president harris' approach is tonight. >> you make a great point in reminding everyone even though news viewers may have been watching her and the dnc did well and outrated the rnc, thee is the new variable, a new variable on the democratic side. we've seen the enthusiasm, the new variable to the public. in that sense, what the new variable says and how it's absorbed will be a big feature of this, and you mention her questions. she's good at that. the muted mic and this civilized order. you love when they say it's going to be civilized. write that down and invite donald trump over. she also is good at leaving

and what we prioritize for appropriations how the weaponization of government operated with judiciary committeewould focus on the oversight committee. the speaker honored every bit of those commitments and had success. success with the debt ceiling negotiation success with all the legislative proposals that came through house conference whether immigration reform tackling energy policy a number of key priorities in the conference. and was undone bypassing continued resolution that was not what i expected for the year as a risk set i thought through by the way, the risks that didn't include what would happen to me that was not on the bingo card. but the risk set i had set in december there was three things the debt ceiling, finds a full year government running those of the big3 risks for speakership. he succeeded with the debt ceiling negotiations, congressman graves and i tasked us with negotiating with white house. we brought back a proposal and he managed it so very well stating early on let's negotiate get it out of the way and the white house finally caving when they said they would not neg

since we began our consideration, like adel manningy -- mangi -- seemed to have grown after the judiciary committee questioned him under oath or another who couldn't give those on the committee a straight answer for advocacy for hedge fund rights to collect on debt. or embory kidd about his record of letting sex offenders off. the judiciary committee rejected her nomination itself. sarah netbush, whose political activism from the bench and failure to render timely claims for grieving 9/11 families cast doubts on her ethics and professional competence. there are those without a heavy dose of nepotism who wouldn't see the inside of a senate hearing room from kevin rich to carla campbell. the democratic leader will have to forgive some of us for not suspending our disbelief. i can assure our colleagues that our senate colleagues that we are no more declined today. mr. durbin: mr. president. the presiding officer: the majority whip. mr. durbin: have you ever seen an ad for pharmaceutical prescription drugs on television? if the answer is no, i would suggest you don't own a television. literally every s

that is why she received a bipartisan vote in the judiciary committee and why i hope my colleagues onboth sides of the aisle will support her. public service runs deep in her family, and her family roots stretch across all corners of other state from the iron range up north to the small rural town of melrose where her great-grandparents ran the lowell paper to the twin city's metro area. she was born and raised in st. cloud, minnesota. after graduating from st. cloud technical high school she earned her b.a. at lewis and rhodes college. she received her j.d. at yale. she joined the u.s. attorney's office in 2010. as an assistant u.s. attorney, she has prosecuted over 500 cases and has served as a deputy chief of violent and major crimes. her work end the respect and support of law enforcement, the largest police station in minnesota praised her, quote, exceptional legal skills, unwavering integrity and commitment to upholding the rm rule of law. she received support from law enforcement officials who work closely with her. these officers as case agents wrote that she is highly respect

i yield two minutes to my very good friend, distinguished chairman of the house judiciary committee, mr. jordan of ohio. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from ohio is recognized. mr. jordan: thank you, mr. speaker. and thank you, chairman. you go to any community, anywhere in this country, walk up to someone on the street and say, do you think it makes sense in light of the fact that 10 million migrants have come into the country in 3 1/2 years, 99 of those individuals on the terrorist watch list, do you think it makes sense before a new voter rental strers to vote that they democrat -- registers to vote that they demonstrate they're a citizen of this great country? and any person you ask that question to will say, well, of course. of course that makes sense. they will all say the same thifnlgt everyone will agree with -- thing. everyone will agree with that. except democrats in the united states house of representatives. they disagree with that. they say, no, no, no. we can't have that requirement on a bill that spends what we're already spending, we can't put that requirement

senate floor, leaders chuck schumer and mitch mcconnell shared their thoughts, along with senate judiciary committee chair dick durbin. spoke with secret service acting director rowe after an armed suspect was arrested after fleeing from former president trump's golf course in w

it's been referred to in official republican social media channels such as the house judiciary committeewitter account on x. they showed this ai image of trump hugging a duck and a cat. we found no evidence that this actually ever happened.— evidence that this actually ever ha ened. ., h . , ever happened. that's migrants eatinu ever happened. that's migrants eating pets _ ever happened. that's migrants eating pets dealt _ ever happened. that's migrants eating pets dealt with. - they clashed on the economy — a key issue — and what did you fact check here? trump made this claim about inflation under the biden administration. we have a terrible economy because inflation has — - which is really known as a country buster, i it breaks up countries — we have inflation like very few| people have ever seen before, probably the worst - in our nation's history. this is false because under president biden, inflation peaked at about 9% injune 2022 and that was at a time of rising prices in rapidly across the world. inflation was laughed above 9% in 1981, and there've been several other moments in us

the american institute testified on hate crimes against marginalized groups before the senate judiciary committeehe hearing focused specifically on anti-semitism and anti- muslim hate with members from both sides of the aisle debating the lie between free speech and the threats of violence on college campuses. this is just over two hours.

, and very pleased to see the senate judiciary committee support that nomination. judge abelson's nomination was put forward by president biden after chief judge james brudar announced his decision to take senior status in may. he served on the district court with distinction for years and i want to thank him for his public service. judge brenard left the maryland district court in the capable hands of judge russell and we wish him the best as he continues his leadership. for judge abelson, this moment, madam president, is the next step in a remarkable career shaped by dedication to his community, upholding equal justice under the law and making a positive impact on the world. his experience is both wide and deep. while in law school, he traveled abroad to promote human rights as a research fellow for human rights watch where he advocated for victims of the regime in chile. as a fellow at the department of justice, he helped to prosecute the perpetrators of genocide in bosnia and rwanda. he clerked for andrii davis on the fourth circuit court of appeals and katheri

it was a letter to the judiciary committee chairman, jim jordan here in the states, essentially saying 2 big things. number one, i was pressure to sensor by the, by the administration. use that word sensor a number to the f b. i let us lead facebook and mehta to believe that a story involving hunter button and briggs my was russian, this information and essentially the, the, the company avoided or demoted that story. as a result of that, with the crucial part of the letter, which is use of the word sensor because you know, i, and this is, this goes back to reporting that i've done from the twitter files. i kept using that word because in my mind, whenever the, the government is working with the media distributors, distributor, to suppress information as they did in the case of a 100, by the story that censorship one's back checked after and other caps. thing that was false, this was not censorship, this was just communication between the government and private pro private companies exercising their free 1st amendment rights to free speech. uh, even after e mail surface, where the white

americans like jocelyn, whose beautiful 27-year-old mom testified in the judiciary committee because her daughter went missing after she put her bed on sunday night and monday she found out she was gagged, bound, and raped in houston, texas, and hurder. alexis is a hero and had the courage to testify about that. about what happened to her daughter. are are we doing anything about that? no. our democrat colleagues refuse. instead, they want to hide behind the bill in the senate that they couldn't even get out of the democrat-controlled senate that never had any chance of passage, and they want to say somehow that was a grand bipartisan bill. because what? a couple of republican senators had a couple conversations with them about it? the bill had no chance of moving. that bill would have codified kamala harris, the border czar's mass release policies into the united states. laken riley is did. jocelyn is dead. kayla is dead. rachel is dead. i could go down the laundry list of americans who died at the hands of people released into the united states by this administration. coy go down a
