Eleanor Holmes Norton: “It is inconceivable in our Republic that the President would be silenced on it.”

Because there is no limit on how long personal information can be exploited, Congress must protect these federal employees and contractors in perpetuity.

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.

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

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