let's pass the john lewis -- reauthorize the john lewis voting rights act. and i yield the floor. i suggest the absence of a quorum. the presiding officer: the clerk will call the roll. quorum call: mr. padilla: mr. president. the presiding officer: the senator from california. mr. padilla: i request that the roll call be dispensed with. the presiding officer: without objection. mr. padilla: mr. president, one year ago this week our nation lost a giant, a man with the righteous purpose and a remarkable legacy -- john robert lewis, who dedicated his life to the cause of justice. from troy, alabama, to a bridge in selma, to the halls of this very congress, he put his body on the line for every american's sacred right to vote. john lewis never stopped fighting because he understood that democracy is a commitment we have to make again and again and again. as he wrote in the last days of his life, the vote is the most powerful, nonviolent change agent you have in a democratic society. you must use it because it is not guaranteed. you can lose it. john lewis understood the power and the

lewis. >> absolutely, absolutely.compelled to throw your company's name and support behind this bill? and is there something specific in this legislation that you felt demanded that support? >> i really looked at the pre-clearance portion, and that was the thing that kind of really hit me because being here in st. louis, even as the nation watched as we had our own reckoning with racial inequities within the region, one of the things that i was noticing too is how closely tied access and rights to voting was with making sure that we obtained more racial equity within the region. one of the things i saw about the pre-clearance is that -- i was like, yes, i can see how they're making these little tiny adjustments, little tiny moves just to make it a little bit harder for people to get out there and voice their right to vote. >> now, today marks the one-year anniversary of the passing of john lewis, one of our nation's greatest public servants. i know that in addition to your business career, you're an activist yourself

sinema's background any note of her having revered john lewis. what do you make of democrats who love to quote lewis as well as martin luther king as long as they won't pass the filibuster? >> i think there's the layer getting 50 democratic senators on the record supporting a version of the for the people act that can affect these laws and can save tour democracy. the second step then is what do we do mechanically to make it happen. i believe the first step is either a carve-out to the filibuster or a reduction in the threshold or returning it to its original form, which is the talking filibuster. so i do call on every single senator, both those who have declared out loud they oppose the filibuster -- support the filibuster and those who are being quiet about it, that this is a time for action. that, yes, we appreciate your reverence for and your respect of john lewis and the work of saving democracy, but now is the urgent time for action. what happened in texas, what is happening right now, what will happen in ohio, what will happen in north car

i sat down with lewis hamilton on thursday and spoke about his feelings after that england match, and love match, and he said he wasn't really surprised. i mean, i would love to sit down with him again now and find out his feelings, but i think the whole of the f1 community is just frustrated. the whole of the sporting community is frustrated that we find ourselves in this situation again.— on to the incident — the debate on who's to blame seems to be raging on — what did you make of it and, everyone is on a different side of the argument. i guess, after the way they've been competing was something like this inevitable? absolutely. it was a case of when, not if, in my humble opinion, and i've spent a large proportion of the day watching the incidents back and forward and back and forward to try and think what i really feel. for me, it's two of the very best f1 drivers with —— we had maybe ever seen fighting tooth and nail to win a world title that means so much to both of them. it would be the first world title for bible. he's never beenin world title for bible. he's never been in a p

after the race, lewis hamilton gave his take on what happened.he was not going to concede. and so anyways he cut across me and we collided. and i was quite frustrated that we have to give space for one another. but anyways... so i knew i had the penalty and i was like i am going to give it everything for the team and for the fans here and we will see where we get and just never gave up. a day to remember for lewis hamilton. the same can be said for collin morikawa. he is the open champion after a bogey—free final round 66 saw him finish two shots ahead of fellow american jordan spieth. disappointment in the end for south africa's louis 0osthuizen, who started the day with a one—shot lead but faltered in his final round. ben croucher has been following the action forfour days for us. what a moment ultimately for who is doing on debut again.— doing on debut again. astonishing sto from doing on debut again. astonishing story from collin _ doing on debut again. astonishing story from collin morikawa - doing on debut again. astonishing story from coll

and, lawrence, if i just, if i may just make a personal note about congressman lewis.the times i spent with him, the most special happened a year ago last month as you see there where my husband and i went with him to see black lives matter plaza. we knew he was battling cancer. what we know now is that he was in the twilight of his time with all of us. it will remain one of the great honors of my life to bear witness as that great man, that great patriot looked out over something that came to symbolize a new itraction of a fight he joined and then was a part of leading six decades earlier. and that's why it's important to remember that the texas democrats didn't come to washington just to lobby for a legislative action item. yes, they want federal legislation to counter the bill. republican state lawmakers are trying to pass in texas. but they came to their nation's capitol to engage the larger fight for civil rights, a fight grounded in principle, and therefore cannot be, should not be viewed through the lens of who wins and loses the day. when john lewis was beaten

lewis voter education act. and we did it.or us to honor him with a ship as we just did over the weekend. to honor him with the likeness that the state of georgia is going to send up here to the capitol. all of that and all john lewis ever really wanted out life was for people, who looked like him, to have unfettered access to what makes this country what it is. and it would be a shame for us to go through all of these machinations and not pass the john r. lewis voter registration and education act -- advancement act. that's what we need to be doing. that's what john lewis would want, more than anything else. and i would hope that, with everything else, we would do that. but see, i do remember. that six months after that march over the edmund pettus bridge, which was, back then, the march 1965. august. august 6th. lyndon johnson signed the 1965 voting rights act. it was kind of interesting. less than a year later, he was unceremoniously ousted. and so, these kinds of things i am used to but i would hope that we're a better bod

we must also invite for the joho lewis advancement act to restore and expand.he congresswomen and men here who are a bunch of, you knew john many of you. just weeks ago supreme court yet again weakened the voting rights act and upheld what justice kagan calledst a significant ra based disparity in voting opportunities. as hard as this decision, is it doesn't limit the congress's ability to threpair the damage done. that is the important point. it puts the burden on congress to restore its to the intended strength. as soon as congress passes its for the people act and the john lewis voting rights advancement act, i will sign it and want the whole world to see it.e that will be an important moment. and the world is wondering -- the world is wondering -- you know what i'm talking about. for real. you know the world is wondering what is america going to do? we also have to be clear eyed about the obstruction we face. legislation is one tool but not the only tool. and it's not the only measure of our obligation to defend democracy today.of for example, attorney gene
