 Vote Record and Cosponsorship Rating for Representative Jerrold Nadler of NY in the 109th Congress
Nadler has taken the principled step of formally lending support to H.R., which would put an end to the practice of "extraordinary rendition." This is a practice in which Bush Administration officials send people into the custody of certain nations, knowing full well (some would say intending) that they will be tortured there.
Jerrold Nadler has cosponsored H.R., which would keep members of the Federal Communication Commission from using their appointed positions to censor cable, satellite or internet programs they consider to be indecent.
Nadler has not yet cosponsored H.R., which would provide more information to the public about contacts between lobbyists and politicians, and which would slow down the revolving door of politics in which politicians move into cushy corporate jobs after they retire in exchange for favors.

CNN anchor Bill Hemmer talked with Rep. Jerrold Nadler, D-New York, about a problem that has little to do with politics, but is more personal in nature -- his lifelong struggle with his weight and recent surgery to help him.
Nadler underwent stomach reduction surgery last August, had about half, or two-thirds of his stomach moved.
It is a far more damaging, frankly, to people's health problem than drug addiction, in terms of the number of people kills, in terms of the numbers of people it cripples, and we're just beginning to give it the proper attention.

 FrontPage magazine.com :: Profile of a Congressional Leftist by John Perazzo
Democratic Congressman Jerrold Nadler is a member of the House Judiciary Committee and one of President Bush’s staunchest critics.
But on closer inspection, Nadler seems to have concentrated his efforts on aiding victims of the attacks — which in his case are constituents — rather than on the task of defeating the terrorists themselves.
It is more plausible to suppose that Nadler, who was a leftwing “anti-Vietnam” activist in the years that the Weathermen were conducting their own form of protest, felt sympathy for Rosenberg and her radical supporters.

JERROLD NADLER: We were having the same conversation, and frankly the only way we're going to make progress is either if the Republican Party or large parts of it stop being subservient to the NRA, instead of to their, to their constituents, or if we have a Democratic Congress.
JERROLD NADLER: But the fact is that we have to deal with all those issues, but as far as gun control is concerned, that's the red herring.

Nadler also adopted a statement first made by attorney William Kunstler, saying: "If you have the law on your side you pound the law, if you have the facts on your side you pound the facts and if you have neither the law nor the facts on your side, you pound on the table."
Those loan guarantees are another target of Nadler's wrath, as he attempts to resurrect a working railyard at the Riverside South site, rather than a housing development for 5,700 New Yorkers and their families.
While Nadler also expounded last week on the significance of the raised highway cutting off the views from any new apartments, it was obvious the West Side's representative hasn't really spent much time actually looking at the site that lies in his district.
