Ben Cardin actually said...

"I'm going to fight, I know Senator Mikulski's going to fight, and our congressional delegation is going to fight to make sure this courthouse is safe."

"Congress is going to have to come up with the money."

"Thank you very much, Senator Cardin, first for inviting me to testify before the committee."

"I'm very serious about at least this Senator's vote on new judgeships until we have adequate space for our existing judges."
