Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) slammed Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee for holding a hearing on an English-only bill on Thursday.
“Having already spent an extraordinary amount of Committee time and resources in an effort to roll-back the civil rights of women, persons with disabilities, gay and lesbian Americans and other minorities, our Majority colleagues are now using the last day before the House adjourns until September to highlight a bill that would place at risk the 24.5 million people in the United States who need language assistance from their government in some situations,” Nadler said.
