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 have urged the administration to remove these troops immediately.

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