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.

Love the picture :-)
If the GOP does pull the nuclear option off, I wonder whether Bill Frist will be getting any apologies from the FReepers who bashed him incessantly throughout this ordeal?
In my opinion, Frist has shown a lot of backbone throughout this process, in the face of tremendous pressure from the obstructionist libs and the MSM. He deserves to be commended (and apologized to) if he can finish this off.
You are going to cause me to hurt myself laughing. I guess that's an ok way to go.
Alright! I've been waiting eagerly for this thread. I guess that means I have no work to get done, lol.
There's a HI-RES version HERE

Okay, I see you have your "game" on for today already!
Is that Harry Reid in the dryer?
FOFL!!!
Man I wish I had some cheese, to go along with all the whine that the Democrats are going to spew.....
I hope he doesn't get any apologies. When you have to be dragged kicking and screaming to the right thing, you don't deserve any apology for being excoriated.
thanks Oxen!
hee hee
Well stated.
I'm hoping Frist continues "doing the right thing" regarding these nominations.
In the meantime, keep calling the RINOs (of which Frist is one) with your desires. And respond to every request for money with NO JUDGES NO BUCKS.
There are a lot of pro-abortion Republicans who are just happy to blame the current situation on obstructionist Democrats. Don't be hoodwinked - make the RINOs go on record.
NO JUDGES, NO BUCKS.
