On monday, the Supreme Court issued the stupid opinion which we talked about forgive you for calling that a compromise decision. Thats how i do it. Just imagine for a moment if during this period of a 44 split on the court, brown v. Board of education have come up. I cant help but think about that and in the context of other cases that are bound to have come up to the court during this period. Senator leahy, i am glad that you pointed out that we have some civics students seated behind us here today. I hope they are learning something, but think of the lesson that where we are at this moment in connection with this nomination teaching them is teaching them. These are matters that should be of critical importance to all of us on both sides of the aisle. The future really is at stake. These kinds of decisions that were issued on monday have real consequences. In brown v. Board of education, you had decisions in one part of the country that went one way, and in delaware in particular my f
The constitution of Civil Justice comes to order. The chair is authorized to declare recessed committee at anytime. Welcome to you gentlemen. Sorry for being a little late. We called this hearing today to examine hr3765, the a. D. A. Education reform act of 2015 and hr241, the access act of 2015, which are two common sense proposals that require plaintiffs to require defendants with written notice and opportunity to correct an alleged a. D. A. Violation voluntarily before they may file a lawsuit and force a Business Owner to incur legal costs. Overall purpose. When a. D. A. Was signed into law by george h. W.

Enterprising plaintiffs and their lawyers have abused the law by filing a flurry of a. D. A. Lawsuits aimed at churning out billable hours rather than improving access for the disabled as the a. D. A. Intended. These predatory lawsuits are poss
Indulgence. It had nothing to do with discrimination. It had to do with a new policy. And it is true that i did rule and put a selfexecuting rule in that did answer the question desire of the committee to handle this issue, and i did it accordingly. I thank the gentleman. Mr. Hoyer i thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, it appears that no one is going to be able to tell me what the schedule is for the week to come. I will tell you thats unfortunate. I hope there is a schedule for the week to come. Because theres a lot to be done. We havent done we havent finalized zika. We passed a bill here which we think was inadequate. We havent dealt with flint. We need to pass puerto rico restructuring. I think theyve made some progress on that. I congratulate the speaker. And the leader for facilitating that progress. We dont have a Voting Rights bill scheduled. We need to do that. There are a number of other serious pieces of legislation this house needs to consider. Were going to go out next week
Be gained on that, and they are ready they say they are ready to abide by the new rules about the environment, trade agreements, intellectual property, and as far as the u. S. Economy is concerned, the administration would say to your question, well, the only way to move forward and get better paying jobs and to pay down the debt is to grow the u. S. Economy and to do that through trade, and Bernie Sanders and some other people say no, either the trade agreements have to be renegotiated or negotiated in a more beneficial way for the u. S. Were we should perhaps protect parts of our economy to have some sectors that we simply protect the terrorists. Host let me conclude with this point, i we had a good pivot point with regards to the u. S. And vietnam . I we had a better point in five years or 10 years ago . Guest absolutely. Relations have improved pneumatically. It is not just economic driven. It is largely driven by this what china is of doing in the South China Sea and whether china
