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.
Other questions include Who Killed Vince Foster and What's Your Commodities Tip?
She was standing on the banks of the Hudson River this morning??? Is that grazing land???
ROFL!!
People died to protect the right of Democrats to deny the president his Constitutional rights. Anyone else get that? LOL
Ack! I come back from lunch and who do I see? She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named!
There goes my lunch.
That is a reference to how many hours of debate are allowed if the cloture motion passes. We're some time (a night and half a day) from taking the cloture vote.
Her mouth has definitely had work (just not the RIGHT work).. her uppers are way more prominent now.
LOL...she's basically telling the Repud Senator they have no balls by not standing up to Bush
She's done now.....
Think I should tell Hillary?
Leahy saying for the 100th time that the Byrd option would be defeated in a secret ballot.
...or how do you think those Rose Law Firm billing records ended up in a desk in the residence section of the White House?
She went up to the HDQTRS to make sure she had it right!
Yes. I was trying to figure out where she was going with that.
In her mind, no one's can compare to HERs (and there's probably some truth to that .. LOL).
"People have died for my right to run for Borg Queen!" What happened? Did she cut into Senator Leaky's time?
98-0 I think it was..
I'm sure Leahy would love if the constituents couldn't know what their representatives are up to, but it isn't going to happen.
What a piece of work she is
what did she say?
