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.

The 9th circus, while still not ideal, is more closely aligned with their idea of a responsible court.

American Idol coming up???

It would have to be the geriatric edition.

To look young on stage I have to use hair dye and buy makeup by the pound.

An independent judiciary is their greatest fear. No...that would be wrong, Joe. A judiciary that legislates is our greatest fear and it is upon us.

He's saying he doesn't want to vote on every rule... he wants the courts to create them...... he's actually saying that.
