Some in the press might expect I'm exaggerating. Listen to me. Listen to me.

PROGRAM -- (Senate - May 20, 2005)

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.
Why do these jackasses think that it is something to brag about that they have been sucking off of the taxpayer's teat for 30 or 50 years?
???? .. got me
He's talking about us now...
ChiaJoePlugs BibBiden is up
It is a battle that will need to be undertaken and will take a class of leaders with the will to fire large numbers of government employees. It may take another 50 years, but it will be worth it..
Hell yes, it's worth it, I may never see the end of it, but I want them gone, for my kids and my nephews and nieces!
hey biden... what's at stake here is the SC. We're gonna win buddy..
Sean playing Sheets soundbites now: None! None!
OOPS, ChiaJoePlugs BinBiden is up
Of course he would. To these guys, their little chamber and their place in it is all that matters.
It's the same reason the senate Pubs turned on the House Managers in '99.
I wish I could see it, but can't at work. LOL. I wish someone could get a screenshot....
Well .. we can tell Joe has read this speech yet
Byrd, Biden ... the 'Rat lineup isn't exactly the 1927 Yankees (Murderers' Row), is it? They ARE swinging for the fence (sitters), but their rhetorical skills aren't any threat to the legacy of Cicero.
You're not exagerating Biden.... you're exactly right.... we want to change courts.
He's a Dem; they download them illegally from the internet.
The last time the Dems pleaded for GOP helpwas at the Wellstone Memorial service..and look how well that worked out for them..
:)
I love the way Mark Levin calls him the dumbest man in the senate. And he is!
