Ms. Norton appears to have gotten a floor vote, as of today. -- Wgbc2032 18:26, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Correction: The vote I cited on the house floor merely sent the bill back to committee, as I've learned vis-a-vis Ms. Norton's congressional website, so my bad for misinterpreting it and bringing it up in this context. She doesn't mention any floor votes on the site, so perhaps her being counted on those other votes was an error. -- Wgbc2032 05:33, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
What about her comment that Clemens is going to heaven? What a joke that was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.6.223.36 ( talk) 04:26, 19 February 2008 (UTC)

The alleged audio recording, a transcript of the alleged recording, and an explanation why her request is allegedly illegal can all be found here. I use the word "alleged" because this is a BLP. I won't add anything to the article without getting an OK from someone else here who is more experienced on these kinds of things. 71.182.184.20 ( talk) 04:29, 16 September 2010 (UTC)
Your description of Andrew Breitbart as a "fringe blogger" is baseless and reprehensible. He's certainly less fringe than Eleanor Holmes Norton. All he did was play an audiotape of her. You are abusing the Wikipedia rules by deleting completely neutral edits for which reliable authority has been provided. 76.168.205.230 ( talk) 03:32, 17 September 2010 (UTC)

I don't believe this event meets the Wikipedia notability requirement for events. Bad parking is barely a story, and a single, as-yet-unverified source is insufficient to justify its inclusion. The language of the section violates NPOV guidelines as well. My inclination is to delete the section entirely, but for now, I've just renamed it and added a template warning. - Juansmith ( talk) 21:31, 26 March 2015 (UTC)
In light of the Washington Post story on 2015-03-27 [1], I'm calling this a non-event. Neither adjacent vehicle reported damage - reported by Norton's staff, and confirmed by the Capitol Police. This is a story of a bad parking job, which doesn't meet the Wikipedia Notability requirements for events (see WP:N(E) as well as WP:SENSATION). Juansmith ( talk) 02:00, 9 April 2015 (UTC)

I started a discussion at Talk:Clarence Thomas relating to the infoxbox on Equal Employment Opportunity Commission Chair succession that is also relevant to this article. At the moment the infobox in this article lists Clarence Thomas as Eleanor Holmes Norton's successor in this office and Lowell Perry as her predecessor. While it is true they were the succeeding and proceeding permanent holders of the office, in both cases there were temporary chairs for over a year between them and Holmes Norton holding office. As I have noted in the other discussion, the infobox for Gilbert F. Casellas, who became chair in 1994 after another long period of of an acting chair, notes both his permanent predecessor as chair, Evan Kemp, and Tony Gallegos who held the acting role in 1993 and 1994, so I wonder if this would be a better approach for this infobox and the one in the Clarence Thomas article?
