PROGRAM -- (Senate - May 20, 2005)

[Page: S5714] GPO's PDF

---

Mr. CORNYN. Mr. President, on Monday, the Senate will resume consideration of the nomination of Priscilla Owen to serve as a circuit judge on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals. Monday will be the fourth consecutive day the Senate considers the Owen nomination.

Over the past 3 days, a number of Members, on both sides of the aisle, have come to the floor to speak on the nomination. We have conducted over 25 hours of debate, and we will continue on Monday. Moments ago, we filed a cloture motion on the nomination, and that will ripen on Tuesday of next week.

On behalf of the majority leader, I remind my colleagues the leader has announced our next rollcall vote will occur Monday afternoon at 5:30. That vote will be on a motion to instruct the Sergeant at Arms to request Senators' attendance. Senator Frist will have more to say about next week's session on Monday.

Hatch IMHO is a RINO

I still LOL when I think of the comment about Hatch during the impeachment - "Dont count your Hatch before he chickens". He is a RINO indeed!

The REALITY is that until THIS Congress, we didn't have the votes to force the matter! 51-48-1 w/ at least three lost votes isn't enough. This is the first chance Frist has had to win. You do realize you need 50 votes minimum to prevail, don't you?

A RINO is a Republican in name only. If everyone keeps tossing that designation around where it does not fit, it will no longer have any meaning. Frist is NOT a Republican in name only. Well said. Tomorrow we will see who is Republican in name only. A certain senator from Arizonia might fit that description, but not Frist.
