“If I may question the Senator, using the criteria which he set forth insofar as the two judges being opposed and which we are now debating. My colleague said that the reason or a rationale for him to vote against them is because the two Senators from California are opposed to these two nominees? In the case of Priscilla Owen, both Senators Cornyn and Senator Hutchison are strongly in favor of Justice Owen. Does that mean that when we get to a vote on Justice Owen the Senator from New Mexico will then vote to move forward to at least allow a fair up-or-down vote on Judge Owen since both Texas Senators are strongly in favor of her?”
