I say to the Senator, ``fast enough'' is a relative term, as I understand it. It is sort of in the eye of the beholder. As I understand it, Senator Leahy, chairman of the Judiciary Committee, held a hearing and squeezed it in here, literally and figuratively, last week so we could move judges forward. I know the bench is full in Minnesota. The people's agenda, the whole agenda of the United States of America is on hold because a group says we are not moving judges fast enough. Is there a measure of what is ``fast enough'' in the Senate?
