Floor Speech

I actually voted for this nominee, and I have every confidence that she will do a good job, but I don't believe that the background check is available. If I am mistaken about that, then we can review this some other time. But as far as I know, we do not have this nominee's background check. That is a matter that I think needs to be taken up with the FBI. You all run the FBI these days. If there is a delay getting this background check completed, that delay should be addressed at the FBI, where the delay has been caused, rather than breaking a committee precedent.
