WASHINGTON — Deborah Ross doesn’t like to miss hearings or markups, even if it means no sleep.
The North Carolina Democrat recalled once, on a bipartisan CODEL to Japan, pulling an all-nighter to virtually attend a Judiciary Committee markup called at the last minute. “I was still voting at breakfast in Japan,” Ross said. “But my constituents’ voices were heard.”
But those were different times, and in the 118th Congress, that kind of virtual participation is gone.
