[Page: S5714] GPO's PDF

---

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.

LBJ's majorities were rather shallow

LBJ in 1965-67 had a 67-33 Senate majority. From 1967-69, it was 64-36.

PLUS, he could make any United States Senator sit up and bark like a dog.

Prays that when Dems get the majority back they won't act this way!

LOL! Does anybody remember before Jeffords jumped and Lott 'shared' the committee memberships and the $$ with the Dems? As soon as he jumped, Daschle offered no such 'compromise' as majority leader.
