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.

Our local police force should not be subject to federalization, an action that wouldn't be possible for any other police department in the country.

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