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.
Mark Levin on his radio show right now calling Howard Dean a drunk! Wants HIS medical records released. Go Mark Go!
From him it sounds the same he could have said pretty pretty pretty and we would have never known LOL
lol- it sure does!
I had no idea that the Dems have been Obstrutionists for as long as McConnel is saying no wonder the Government is in the shape it's in
I came walking in and missed what they were voting on, but then I say the Dems were voting aye, which menas Allen's NO, would have been what the Republicans were voting. I had a knee jerk! Sorry! This is all on me not Senator Allen! MY FAULT!
He's ripping Sheets a new one, IMO
Right. Before CSPAN and www.thomas.gov.

Okay---babysitting job over---now, I would like someone to give me an in depth review of every senator that has talked today---
Just kidding!!!! LOL
I left my daughter's house as Hillbilly was talking!!!
My guess is Reid.
PUT ON FNC NOW!!!
CHARTS!!!
Charts and graphs!
Lotsa laughs!
That was funny. Sometimes Brian Wilson can make me laugh.
Place saver I have to go out! :(
Then you missed Biden threatening us WHEN they are the Majority again, and Byrd holding a seance with dead senators? Hillary was trying not to screech., voice still shrill.
BTW, apparently Reid is running a 90 second spot tonight on primetime. Something like Republicans are evil, we're your saviors, rescue us from those big meanies.
McConnell has charts. Quoting how the Dems changed the ground rules.
Lawd! Funded by MOO-von no doubt.
I wonder if Byrds Butt Hurts lol
LOL!! ... I liked the picture of the tooth paste and the one of Ronald Mcdonald
That was too funny!
