Eleanor Holmes Norton: “No, we don't want to tear down our system, we want to restore confidence in our system, Mr. Elwell.”

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

D.C.'s local courts have faced chronic judicial vacancies for far too long, delaying justice for residents and placing an unnecessary strain on the administration of our local court system.

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

I will use every tool at my disposal to stop these riders from becoming law, and I commit to reminding my fellow lawmakers across the aisle that D.C. residents deserve the same consideration as their own constituents at every opportunity.
