I usually default to the golden rule, and I think in this case it's a pretty good guide as well.
Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.
I think that's really disgraceful, and it's unacceptable that the local DC courts have vacancies that last years because the Senate fails to act in a timely way.
Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.
