Thomas R. Carper: “Senator Carper had asked us a couple of months ago to pull together a focus group in our rural part of the State…”

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 usually default to the golden rule, and I think in this case it's a pretty good guide as well.

We are better off when we hear community concerns at the beginning of the process rather than at the end.

Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this.
