Hon. Thomas M. Davis said "This legislation, S. 550, increases the total number of judgeships on the Superior Court from 58 to 61. In response to reports of abuse and neglect in child family services cases pending in the D.C. Superior Court in 2001, Congress created the family court in the district and assigned a dedicated cadre of judges to handle child and family cases. The legislation before us today is essentially a technical correction to the Family Court Act we enacted in 2001, increasing the cap on the number of judges in the D.C. superior court to accommodate the creation of this new family court. I want to thank Chairman Waxman and Subcommittee Chairman Davis for moving this legislation so expeditiously to the floor. I urge my colleagues to support this bill." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
