I think we are at about 80 percent in trust at the VA overall and about 90 percent on outpatient health care, so it seems like we are doing something right.

They're failing to do their job and they want the court to do it for them.

It is essential to the institution of the Senate and to the very health of our republic not to launch our nation into a partisan, divisive conformation battle during the very same time the American people are casting ballots to elect our…

If there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:34 p.m., adjourned until Tuesday, December 10, 2019, at 10 a.m…

I would like to congratulate Mr. Kenneth D. Bell on his confirmation to serve as the United States District Judge for the Western District of North Carolina. Mr. Bell has a distinguished record of serving North Carolina, and he is an…

I want to congratulate Michael B. East on his confirmation to the position of United States Marshal for the Eastern District of North Carolina. Mr. East has served as a dedicated law enforcement officer for over 28 years in North Carolina…

I think if we do that, I have every confidence, Judge Kavanaugh, you are going to be Justice Kavanaugh.

I have a request for one committee to meet during today's session of the Senate. It has the approval of the Majority and Minority leaders. Pursuant to rule XXVI, paragraph 5(a), of the Standing Rules of the Senate, the following committee…
