Eleanor Holmes Norton: “You have to understand that you can't expect us to continue to try to protect the Federal Building Fund at the same time…”

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.

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.

I’m gonna run. I don’t know why anybody would even ask me.

I think returning to a pre-Sackett regime would provide a uniform level of protection across the United States.
