The hearing will come back to order. Senator klobuchar. Klobuchar thank you very much, mr. Chairman. Hello, judge. I want to start out again by reminding our friends at home, people at home, that this isnt normal, we shouldnt be here right now. We are in the middle of a pandemic and people are sick. We are in the middle of an election and people are voting. And here we are, stuck in a nomination hearing. I know what my constituents care about, what they have been calling and writing me about. And that is they are afraid of losing their health care in the middle of the pandemic. Peoples lives depend on the Affordable Care act like steve, a senior from minnesota who has a heart condition and relies on his prescription medication. Emily from minneapolis, her mom was diagnosed with breast cancer. Janet from rochester whose brother has a mental illness. Or christie, a mom from bloomington whose daughter had a tumor. That is what is on the line. Health care is on the line and judge, that is
What america should be. The northerners who won had an idea of what america should be. The indians and the chinese at out west had ideas about what america should be and certainly the northern men who had won the war had ideas about what the country should be. The critical question as to what it was going to be was who was going to have a say in it. We have gone to that as well, but who had a say in what that new nation was going to be was going to have a dramatic affect on what it eventually became. Today i want to talk about women and womens lives in the late 19th century and their role in what was really the reconstruction, the true rebuilding of the north, south, and the west into a new nation in the wake of the civil war. The story of women is more crucial to that story than most people realize. Most people when they think about womens rights in america start here and you probably know about this from high school, the Seneca Falls Convention of 1848 when a number of women came tog

Thank you, mr. Chief justice and may it please the court. In 1991, congress enacted the tcpas basic restriction on the placement of automated calls to cell phones. In the years that followed lower courts consistently upheld the constitutionality of that restriction as a contact neutral restriction on the use of calling technologies consumers found particularly intrusive and annoying and the Congress Debt exception in 2015 did not introduce any constitution infirmity into the statutory scheme and that exception is limit to a narrow category of calls that intrude less on Consumer Privacy than the typical automated call and that serve an important counterveiling interest in protecting the federal fisk. Theres been a good deal back and forth in the briefs whether sponedents challenge is properly viewed as one to the exception or to the general automated call restriction. And i think in circumstances like this theres not a right way or wrong way, not a right or wrong challenge to bring, the
