Political Quotes

“Mr. President, following any leader remarks, there will be a period for the transaction of morning business until 3:30 p.m. today. Senators during that period of time will be able to speak for up to 10 minutes each. At 3:30 p.m., we will move to consideration of S. 23, which is the Patent Reform Act. At 4:30 p.m., the Senate will turn to executive session to consider the nominations of Amy Totenberg, of Georgia, to be a U.S. district judge and Steve C. Jones, of Georgia, to be a U.S. district judge. The time until 5:30 p.m. will be equally divided and controlled in the usual form. At 5:30 p.m., Senators should expect a voice vote on confirmation of the Totenberg nomination, to be followed by a rollcall vote on confirmation of the Jones nomination. We hope to complete action on the patent reform bill and consider a continuing resolution during this week's session. ____________________”
