Thomas R. Carper: “We literally served in a war with Vietnam and later on, years later, in a bipartisan way for a Republican President…”

Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.

Not really. I have just come from the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee, which is having a hearing on the Key Bridge, the bridge in Baltimore that was badly damaged.

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.

I hope is that the issues we just discussed... we can keep at it today and see if we can't find a way to yes.
