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.
No. This is a voice vote.
Thanks for keeping us updated on the situation. :o)
Are we bringing in mattresses to FR tonight?
Having tried only 5 cases in court, lost her memory in countless depositions, left a trail of lies miles long, benefited from dupious stock market deals, and married to a disbarred lawyer, Hillary's own lawyer qualifications would NEVER withstand scrutiny, yet she's against an extremely qualified woman. 'Thought Hillary also preached women's rights, yet she's against a Republican woman's rights.
I think so!
It's not Cheney... who do you think it is?
Actually, she is watching any hopes for her political future imploe before her eyes..and I hope it really sticks in her craw. The Dem nomination won't be worth having..
Republicans have no rights!!!
Can you post some Sealy links/pics
Can someone explain the "quorum" calls and their significance?
This keeps occurring. Someone suggests the absence of a quorum, and they usually start the roll call; after a couple names someone else says 'without objection dah dah dah quorum' and business proceeds.
This time they called the whole roll.
What's going on with this? Thanks in Advance.
I have not been on the thread, but is this where we are now? Is it a vote on the nomineee or a vote on the rule?
Thanks for your patience for an ignoramus. I was counting on Freepers to get me to speed when necessary.
Old Krusty is yelling and being sarcastic? I knew Her Highness had worn those slacks one (or a dozen) too many times.
Depends if they televize this tonight.
who is sitting in the big chair?
Probably. Sometime between now and the cloture vote.
Frist has called a live quorum. The Senate has a chore on its hands.
.
Thanks
Hey those look comfortable. Are they for us?
