Harry Reid: “This was only a minor issue. What we have done, I say to my distinguished friend through the Chair, and my former…”

This was only a minor issue. What we have done, I say to my distinguished friend through the Chair, and my former leader, is that we have three judges, one for the DC Court of Appeals and two for Michigan, probably three for Michigan, who we said we have no objection--they are all circuit court judges--to move forward on. What Senator Frist has said in reply is that he wants to have all the judge issues resolved before we move to any of these circuit court judges. That is what he said and that is what I said.
