again I hope we find ourselves in a position to move forward. I don't think there is a soul here who would not admit we have talked enough about this judicial nomination. I don't think there is a soul here who would deny we have all made up our minds, we all know exactly what we are going to do. It is very clear that the majority on this floor is prepared to vote for this nominee and we are being held up over here by a minority that simply continues to ask for something that is not necessary because the majority has already been determined. So I hope we can move on and do the business of this country for these people. I yield the floor.
