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.
She does this every time
Usually, if you have C-Span1, you may have C-Span2, although they may be miles apart. The other day someone mentioned their C-Span1 was on 18 (like mine), but their C-Span2 was eighty something.
"In his first term, her husband, who was elected with 42% of the vote, got 97% of his nominations passed by a GOP senate..go figure.."
That's funny, I don't remember hearing that on my local newscast!! /sarcasm off
I didn't think there was a chance that she would "weigh" in on this topic....
"I got sssome niscchhh popssssiclessss in the freezzzzer..."
I'm not afraid of her
I would even look her straight in the eye
Why???
Because she HATES that
Thanks all.
Commenting on the brilliance of our Founders, blah blah .. hey, Hillary .. even their reverence and belief in God and how they prioritized His place in our founding????
A: Surely, I say to my colleague
Q: Who appointed Craig Livingstone to be director of WH security?
LOL... she should understand wanting power.... sheesh.
Bwhahahaha!!! I would give a year's salary, nay, a decade's salary if someone would ask that!
when she starts talking it's all i can do not to gnaw off one of my own limbs.
LMAO!! We never DID find that out, did we? If Watergate had happened in the Clinton White House, Craig would have burned the tapes.
Ooh .. how I wish the Craigster question could be asked unexpectedly.
How many votes did Ginsburg get for the SC.
She's now lecturing President Bush.
This is a very Boxer-like presentation, only slightly lower on the obviously loony scale. Her recitation of how the founding fathers talked to each other had me howling.
Good for you. But others on the board are paralyzed when the woman's name is mentioned. makes me pull my hairout because I have no fear of this woman at all.
hey, the Queen just lectured the President that the reason he cannot get 60 votes is because his judges are extreme. LOL
This woman is an embarrssment.
yep...
