"Innovation and competition in the pharmaceutical market are key to lowering prescription drug costs. Anticompetitive tactics like product hopping are hurting American families, who are struggling to pay for expensive pharmaceuticals. The Affordable Prescriptions for Patients Through Promoting Competition Act of 2019 would disincentivize pharmaceutical companies from abusing our patent system in order to maintain control over the pharmaceutical market."

". . . this Democrat impeachment crusade lacks the due process protections afforded in all past presidential impeachments, including those protections afforded to President Clinton by Republicans. It is an unfair process for many other reasons, chief among them the fact that minority questions are not being answered in depositions and the President’s counsel has had no voice in the fact-gathering phase of this impeachment inquiry."

"Now that Congress is officially engaged in a so-called 'impeachment inquiry,' it is incumbent upon you and the Democratic caucus to be faithful to your prior statement and to prioritize due process. In light of this, I hope that you join me in demanding the House take the same steps as have historically been taken to ensure fairness throughout impeachment proceedings."

"Thus far, the House has completely failed to deliver on your 2016 promise to provide 'rigorous due process.' . . . I urge you to promptly rectify these failures."

"This subcommittee’s antitrust investigation has been one of the bright spots on the committee’s agenda this term. The importance of digital technology to our constituents’ lives grows every day. The tech sector is one of the greatest forces for innovation and wealth creation in the world and our economy. Rarely in history have we witnessed such a transformative change in how we go about our lives. "Much of that change is very much for the good, but not all.

"I commend this House for permanently reauthorizing the protection of Supreme Court Justices and fixing the loophole in the law. I look forward to passing the Reauthorizing Security for Supreme Court Justices Act to ensure the protection of our Justices."

"[The Foundation of the Federal Bar Association Charter Amendments Act] makes necessary amendments to the Federal Bar Association’s Charter to allow for it to move its principal office outside of Washington D.C., expand its ability to provide legal education and clarify expectations for directors, officers, members and employees of the Federal Bar Association."

"[Congress] doesn’t have the constitutional authority to retroactively revive a failed constitutional amendment and subject citizens in all 50 states to the current political trend in just one state. The Supreme Court has already recognized that. The past Democratic leadership of this House recognized that. Apparently the current leadership on this committee, however, is intent on rewriting history."

WASHINGTON — Rep. Doug Collins (R-Ga.), Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee, made the following opening statement at today’s markup of H.J. Res. 79.
