On the recordNovember 12, 2003

I say to my colleagues that if they will give us an up-or-down vote on all of these nominees, as they have done in every other instance and as the Senate has done for every other President of the United States, there is a lot of work we need to do and we look forward to moving on to that. What we have been doing over the past 24 hours almost now, what we are going to do for the next several hours, is some of the most important business this Senate can ever take up, and that is the confirmation of our judicial nominees.
