I want to thank our Ranking Member of the full Committee, Senator Capito, for her support, not just in discussing this topic, but addressing this challenge.

I have never stopped caring about it.

I ask unanimous consent that the order for the quorum call be rescinded. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Delaware.

Today, it is my honor to rise in support of the Honorable Justice Tamika Montgomery-Reeves to be confirmed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit. Just a few months ago, in September of this year, I had the privilege to…

People ask me: What do you like most about being in the Senate? What do you like most about public service? I like helping people. When they ask me more specifically what gives me joy in the Senate, it is that Thursday, it is that half an…
