Thomas R. Carper: “Thanks, Mr. Chairman.”

People ask me what I am proudest of in my life, and I always say, raising three boys, with a big assist from their mom.

Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.

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.
