"I feel very strongly--I know that a number of us on the Committee agree--that more transparency, more visibility is important for the public to understand what goes on in the courtroom."

"Thank you to President Biden for his vision and wisdom and courage in nominating you."

"We have an obligation to preserve them and my hope is that your nomination will help us do so."
