Thomas R. Carper: “Members of this Committee are very proud of the work that we have done on infrastructure for our country.”

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.

I usually default to the golden rule, and I think in this case it's a pretty good guide as well.

I think that's really disgraceful, and it's unacceptable that the local DC courts have vacancies that last years because the Senate fails to act in a timely way.

I hope is that the issues we just discussed... we can keep at it today and see if we can't find a way to yes.
