The federal courts say the study validates the steps they've already taken to improve conditions for workers there, but Torres says that's not enough. She's committed to using the power of the purse, the appropriations power, to try to get the judiciary to do more. She's working alongside Georgia Congressman Hank Johnson. Good morning. Pleasure to see you, sir.

Great to see you also. Thank y'all for being here. You ready to go? Okay.

Johnson's walking us through the Rayburn House Office Building, and into the Capitol to introduce the Judiciary Accountability Act. His bill would make clear the same legal protections for workers in the private sector in the executive branch also apply to the 30,000 people who work for the federal courts.

This is just one small step, but a very important step to bring about some accountability.
