The only thing I would say is, what about the judge from Wyoming? Why don't we do that today? Could there be a more Republican State in the country than Wyoming? Maybe. I do not know. Maybe Idaho is vying for No. 1. But I am willing to approve this judge today. Why don't we vote on him today? Well, if you want to go ahead and have us invoke cloture on this other guy, we will do that, but I am willing to vote on the Wyoming guy today. Mr. McCONNELL. Since the majority leader always reminds me he has the last word, I am hesitant to speak again. But we will continue to process these judges in an orderly fashion, as we have all year long, and, hopefully, he and I can discuss this further off the floor and find a way forward.
