This week I spoke before the Judicial Conference of the United States at the Supreme Court as Ranking Member of the House Judiciary Committee's Subcommittee on Court, Commercial and Administrative Law. I praised Chief Justice John Roberts and Julia Gibbons -- a federal judge on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit -- and discussed how important it is that we provide more federal funding for our courts, especially bankruptcy courts, and ensure that existing judgeship vacancies are filled in a timely manner. Justice delayed is justice denied, and it is essential that we provide citizens with the justice and rights they deserve.
