20% Court Budget Cut
This would have significantly reduced the resources available for the D.C. District and Appeals Courts to process cases and maintain operations.
POINT 02
Targeting Specific Judges
Eliminating funding for the staff of specific judges is a direct way of targeting individual judicial chambers within a broader spending bill.
POINT 03
