Eleanor Holmes Norton: “We are trying to get people to get on buses, but not intercity buses.”

This bill would establish a commonsense process to ensure that qualified nominees are not indefinitely delayed by Senate inaction.

In my long career representing D.C. residents in Congress, I have rarely seen a bill as unreasonable and patronizing to the more than 700,000 people who live in the nation’s capital as this one.

I have one response to people with doubts about my ability to serve: Watch me.

I believe this bill strikes the middle ground, while showing Congress' support for LGBTQ+ individuals.
