“Mr. President, what is going to happen when we come back, there will be at some point soon after we get back from our break, a vote up or down on the Senate floor on whether or not the Senate will advise and consent to approving President Bush's nominee, Mr. Jeffrey Sutton, to be a judge on the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. I will speak for a while tonight about Jeffrey Sutton, but when we come back I will have a lot more to say. I don't think too many people have focused on this. There has been a lot of talk about Mr. Estrada and now there is talk about Judge Owen from Texas but not too much has been said about Mr. Sutton. I will lay out the case and lay out for my fellow Senators and for the public at large what is at stake in this nomination.”
