“on Monday, June 6, the Senate will return from the Memorial Day recess and resume consideration of the nomination of Janice Rogers Brown for the DC Circuit. There will be no rollcall votes on June 6, but Senators are encouraged to come to the floor that day to speak on the Brown nomination. As a reminder, cloture was just filed on the Brown nomination and the nomination of William Pryor to the Eleventh Circuit. Thus, we will vote on the cloture motion with respect to the Brown nomination on Tuesday, June 7, at noon. Given the agreement reached this week, I expect cloture to be invoked and hope that we can proceed to the confirmation vote on Judge Brown early Tuesday afternoon. I also would like to remind my colleagues that we have time agreements with respect to the nominations of Griffith, McKeague, and Griffin to the circuit courts, as well. It is my intention to move to these nominations at an early time, as well. Finally, since we were unable to finish our work on the Bolton nomination to be ambassador to the United Nations, we will revisit this issue following the break, as well. I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will call the roll. The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll.”
