Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I hate to ask for a hearing on this, but I am going to have to ask for Congress to try to clarify what we mean.”

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 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.

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

I have urged the administration to remove these troops immediately.
