What really makes me mad is all they are doing is speech making. They're not asking questions, or if they do it's in the final 2 seconds.
I think they should reduce the time senators can speak to just enough to actually ask a question.

Agreed. I can handle the speechifying, pontificating and political grandstanding, but NOT their nasty, rude behavior.

Cornyn mentioning "leaked" Senate memos.
Points out that Senators assumed they should get to have candid, confidential communication with their staffers.
Executive branch should have the same right to candid, confidential communication.

What really makes me mad is all they are doing is speech making.It's called filibustering IMO. They know he is going to be confirmed but they are making certain he does not until after Oct 1
