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.

my c-span isn't showing this............sigh....

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.

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.
