Congress filled DC judicial vacancies but courts remain underfunded
Original: Paulette Chapman and Jelahn Stewart: Congress filled DC’s judicial vacancies. Now it must fund the courts.
Paulette Chapman and Jelahn Stewart argue that while Congress has moved to fill Washington DC's judicial vacancies, it has not matched that action with adequate funding for the District's courts. Writing in TheDCLine.org, the two call on lawmakers to back judicial appointments with the resources courts need to function, framing funding as the necessary next step after the vacancies were addressed.
Why now: Attention on DC's court system is rising as newly filled judicial positions remain unfunded, putting pressure on Congress to act.
