PROGRAM -- (Senate - February 01, 2005)
Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, tomorrow the Senate will resume consideration of the nomination of Alberto Gonzales to be Attorney General. A number of colleagues spoke on this nomination today, and we expect a full day of debate tomorrow as well. Under the agreement, we will alternate debate in 1-hour blocks throughout the day. Again, I encourage those Members who wish to speak on the Gonzales nomination to contact the chairman and ranking member of the Judiciary Committee as soon as possible.
ORDERS FOR WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 2, 2005 -- (Senate - February 01, 2005) Mr. BROWNBACK. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:15 a.m. on Wednesday, February 2. I further ask that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved, and at 9:30 a.m. the Senate proceed to executive session and resume consideration of the nomination of Alberto Gonzales to be Attorney General, as provided under the previous order; provided that at 2:30 p.m. Senator Byrd be recognized for up to 1 hour.
PING.......
Looks like the vote will be around 4:30ish..
Thanks for posting!
Does this mean that he will be confirmed prior to the SOTU?
Kay Bailey Hutchison up now....
Yeah, it's looking that way.
Yeah, I missed Kennedy yesterday. I hear he went off the deep end (again).
Thanks for the ping ... This is better then listening to Duran Duran on Regis & Kelly
WOW ... they stunk up that song
I missed it too. Wonder if anyone has the transcript. I'd much rather read than actually hear the old windbag.
KKKBryd ought to be as classic as Kennedy.
Hope folks use this number to call their senator......1-877-762-8762
I will be here in a little while. I have to go run to the store and the bank. I will check in when I get back.

Did KBH just take a swipe at Janet Reno?
Yes.
My husband watched this yesterday. He said he can't believe
the democrats are being so stupid and that it would be a very long time before democrats ever get power again. If they ever do.
If he is confirmed today, I will bet you anything it's because of the SOTU being tonight. Otherwise, there would be story after story in at least SOME media about the senseless delay of Judge Gonzalez's confirmation on the day of Bush's big speech, angering "moderates" who want everyone to just get along and who hate partisan bickering, and angering Hispanic Americans as well. Hehehe
Good Morning!
Good morning, tired. Every time I see your name I feel a twinge of guilt and go run another load of wash. ;)
