the nomination of a Justice to the Supreme Court of the United States is a solemn and momentous occasion. Our Constitution is the rarest of political documents in human history. Those individuals who are appointed for life to be its stewards and interpreters are extremely important to our future.

It is the dialog among the senior Justices and the new ones, those nominated by Democrats and Republicans, and all the backgrounds represented, that gives the Court its legitimacy and dynamism. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The time designated for the majority has expired, unless the Senator gets unanimous consent for additional time.
