Mr. McCONNELL. Mr. President and Members of the Senate, tomorrow morning the Senate will begin consideration of the nomination of Priscilla Owen to be U.S. circuit court judge for the Fifth Circuit. We will debate the nomination throughout the day tomorrow. I encourage Members who wish to speak on the nomination to come to the Senate during tomorrow's session.

I talked to the Democrat leader about the structure of the debate, and he will accommodate Members who desire to make statements. I encourage Senators to contact cloakrooms if they would like to speak on the nomination. We look forward to the debate on Priscilla Owen, and we hope all of the Members will participate.

"Frist palns to allow 100 hours of debate."

After the first 100 hours of the debate will come the 2nd 100 hours of debate, then the 3rd 100 hours....

Frist, nor any of the other RINOs have the guts to stand up to the democrats. They are simply members of the same club.

Has he said that lately. I know he proposed that at one point as a reasonable number of hours before bringing things to a vote. That allows for each Senator to have one hour each should they take it and many wouldn't.

100 hours of debate.
2.5 weeks.
add a few technical delays, and we have the first opportunity to go nuclear... sometime next month.

unbelievable.

Frist plans to allow 100 hours of debate...

Sheesssh! That's two hours per senator. 15 minutes apiece would have been plenty.
