“I will, however, agree with him on one point, and that is we most certainly need to have our positions in our Federal courts filled in a timely manner. This is not the only issue in our country that needs attention. This is not the only issue where people, individuals and parties, are aggrieved and need their grievances remedied in a timely manner. So I do join him and thank him for his valiant efforts to try to get the nominations of many qualified individuals, nominated for our Federal bench, certified and voted on so that these matters can be handled in a more timely fashion. But I am pleased to rise in support of S. 2271, to join my distinguished colleagues from Utah and Georgia. The reason I rise to support this bill is because this is about fairness. It is about access to justice for the rich and for the poor, for people who have a lot of property, for people who have little property. In fact, this is a bill for people who don't own any property yet, but one day hope or dream or have planned or have saved, or perhaps inherit some property, perhaps the first ever owned in generations in their family, from having their rights of ownership trampled on.”
