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.
McCain shows up!
Why can't the GOP be more like the Dim jerks sometimes? How about a little 'No justice; no peace'?
McNut talking... he's the leader of this mutiny.
Got a horrible feeling, seeing McCain grinning.
Sean Hannisy and Scott Glen? These people...they should be ashamed of themselves acting like goofballs.
MCCAIN IS TALKING ABOUT HIS DAMN MOVIE---WHAT A BUFFOON!!!
McCain opens with a plug for his movie.
Give it up John, the only way you're going to see the Oval Office is by invitation.
McCain can go to hell.
Ai-yi-yi ... RINOs grinning like village idiots. Can this be good...?
That's what he's referring to? His darned movie? Heaven help us.
McCain looking like the cat who swallowed the canary.
ap will have the story on the press line before these idiots get around to saying what the deal is
ooh there's whatsherhoozie from Looziana.
I'm afraid I'm gonna have to go to confession tomorrow.
Absolutely right!
I simply do NOT understand all this beating up on Frist. He can't control these lame-os.
If anything, it was only Frist's sticking to his guns that scared the Dems into negotiating!
It just makes me sick to see McCain up there...talking about his MOVIE!!! I won't be able to read the papers for a week.
Yep. There's McCain. Someone told me earlier todday this closed door compromising was a MSM myth. Glad to see I was right and that person was wrong.
Of course not nothing good comes from them
