Thomas R. Carper: “Thank you for introducing a new term, violent agreement. That is great.”

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.

Public engagement can build trust, it can increase public buy-in, can help resolve issues, can help prevent litigation, and ultimately it can save time and money.

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

I am the last Vietnam Veteran serving in the U.S. Senate, and kind of relates to my great affection and interest in the postal issues.
