mr. cohen: i recognize mr. deutch, he's hiding down there in the first row, i recognize the distinguished gentleman, the barrister from florida, now the congressman from florida. for three minutes and 12 seconds. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. deutch: i rise in opposition to the so-called lawsuit abuse reduction act. today, mr. speaker, is constitution day. how is the house g.o.p. celebrating constitution day? by trampling on our framers' vision of an independent judiciary as one of three separate but equal branches of government. the framers of our constitution established an independent judicial fwraverage because they believed the judges should be able to interpret the law without interference. they believe that only when judges were shielded from influence of politicians and pundits and special interests could they issue rulings fairly and impartially. in short, they worked to create a system that shielded judges from efforts like the one behind today's lawsuit abuse reduction act

ranking member of the constitution and civil justice subcommittee, the gentleman from tennessee, mr. cohen, for his opening statement. >> thank you, mr. goodlatte. first, i want to say that this is one of the issues that divides this country and has for 40 some odd years. it divides this committee. i respect my republican colleagues, mr. frank, in particular who have a strong-held position, but it's not my position, and it's not the position of most of the women in this country. and that is the position that women should have a right to choose. roe vs. wade, united states supreme court decision in the early '70s made that point clear and it's been the law of the land for many years. this hearing is not about the videos. in fact, the videos have been doctored, and the videos aren't what they're supposed to be. and it's show business. this hearing is about a woman's right to choose. and many people who for their honest beliefs feel should be a litmus test of a politician's life and support for, quote, unquote, life and human beings. they want to outlaw abortion and they won't be happy until

mr. cohen: thank you very much for the time and thank you for scheduling this important hour special order. this issue is extremely important to women, to men, to the constitution, to progress. and this week has been unfortunately very emblematic -- very much an example of what the house has been doing throughout this session. messaging. we're about to have a shutdown of government. because of planned parenthood. and the cost to our economy and to people for a shutdown of the federal government is astronomical. the last shutdown, which i think was in 2013, it might have been 2011, cost in the hundreds of billions of dollars. to the economy. stock market fell. people lost jobs. lost income. lost services. all because of planned parenthood. an organization that predominantly -- do we need to take a time out here? madam speaker, i think we have an announcement from the senate. the speaker pro tempore: the chair will receive a message. the messenger: madam speaker, a message from the senate. the se

i now recognize my friend, mr. cohen of tennessee, for two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from tennessee is recognized for two minutes. mr. cohen: thank you, mr. speaker. in 1963 president kennedy served in this chamber. he spoke at a american university about preventing nuclear war. and that to do so is necessary to deal with our most feared and distrusted enemy at the time, the soviet union. as mistrusted and evil in the eyes of americans then as iran is today. as you recall, the prime minister boldly stated, we will bury you. president kennedy understood, though, that in negotiationses with an enemy, quote, we must diversity those confrontations which bring an adversary to the choice of humiliating retreat or nuclear war. president obama, along with the other five nations at the negotiating table in vienna, confronted the same reality. when president reagan engaged with the soviet unionings he also was negotiating with our -- union, he also was negotiating with our most feared and distrusted enemy. in negotiations with iran, it has

and then mr. cohen and i are going to be united supporting a progressive democrat who will do something about income disparity, and do something about fair taxation, the things that hillary clinton and bernie sanders stand for, against whatever republican is nominated. >> larry, let me bring up something that lanny just talked about. he even said, lanny just said that he wouldn't be surprised if hillary clinton lost iowa and new hampshire. but the competitive part will come once you leave those two states and meet up with, as lanny said, a variety of voters. one of the criticisms of senator sanders and one of the concerns is that once you get into states like south carolina, that has a large african american voting population, how does senator sanders connect with african americans enough to make himself competitive in not just south carolina, but in a lot of those southern states where the african american voting bloc and just people of color are more plentiful than they are in iowa and new hampshire?

the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman mr. cohen: would you instruct the folks that they interrupted my speech. bottom line is, planned parenthood is an outstanding organization that serve the women in this nation, my state and city. mostly low-income women and women of color and they get their basic female health care services, whether it's breast cancer exams, sexually transmitted disease tests, family planning programs. it is not about abortion. very small part is abortion. not called planned abortion but called planned parenthood and most people are in need of those services. to cut them out as they have talked about now isn't the answer. it is going to disadvantage a lot of women and what we have had this week is a bill, the most recent bill -- did anybody discuss the idea if you would yield the fact that this second ill, the fetal -- the fetal -- i guess it's called the unborn baby bill, whatever it is, didn't go to committee. has that been discussed? that's amazing. this bill never went to committee. in fact, it was kind of s

mr. cohen: thank you, madam speaker. i thank you for the time. these are very important bills. this bill and the next bill. to the women of this nation and to the people in america because these are rights that are under attack. there is this born alive bill which came to the floor through rules committee, and the next bill, which stops funding the planned parenthood, but they're all part of the same thing, same bill, same message. because what we're doing here in this congress is messaging, and the message is the republican party wants to defeat roe v. wade. they think that that was a bad bill and that it is wrong to legalize in america for women to have choice. most of the democrats don't think that. neither of these bills went through the committee process, which is really abhorrent. in fact, yesterday we passed a bill about doing novel ideas and saying you'll get sanctioned as a lawyer if you bring a case that is frivolous and didn't really come through the proper procedures. if we had that kind of rule in congress, these rules wouldn't be allowed on the floor because they'

mr. cohen, in your testimony he made the important point that rape is crime and should be treated as such. how confusing what you call amateur systems on campus lead to unjust as for both victims and accused his? >> thank you for the question. the primary way, the way the status quo works, harms both the accused students and the complainants is that we get unreliable findings because the people adjudicating cases don't have the right tools to do it. the same people would be fine on juries are doing, you have deans of physics departments come in which professors and sophomores can't figure out if a rape occurred. they are doing it without forensic evidence, without the subpoena power, without the ability to put witnesses under oath. they are doing it without rules of evidence to make sure that relative information is included and irrelevant is excluded the idea they would get it right consistent with all of those limitations is a fantasy. so the primary thing that we can do is make sure that we
