Charniele Herring, D-Alexandria, composes herself as she delivers a speech on Sally Hemming during the House session at the Capitol in Richmond, Va.

Democrats say the additional judges are needed to expand the intermediate court's jurisdiction and give criminal defendants and civil litigants an automatic right of appeal. “I’m sorry they are making this a political issue. This is about access for everybody to our judicial system," Herring said. (AP Photo/Steve Helber, File)
