“I appreciate the objection. We have voted on several judges. I am talking about holding hearings on judges nominated over a year ago, not voting on them; just holding a hearing and trying to hold the hearings before the anniversary day. In view of that objection, let me propound this request: That no later than May 9, 2002, the Judiciary Committee shall conclude hearings on at least six of the eight nominations remaining of those made by President Bush on May 9, 2001, to the U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeals?”
