William H. Frist said "the Senate will spend the day in executive session deliberating, once again and for the 10th day, the nomination of Miguel Estrada to be a circuit judge for the DC Circuit.

Rollcall votes are expected in an effort to make progress toward confirming this nominee in order to fill this judicial vacancy. There is an empty courtroom and a backed up docket awaiting this judge. I hope my colleagues will cooperate so that this ready, willing, and able nominee can report for work at the DC Circuit courthouse. I ask unanimous consent that a letter to the President dated February 25, 2003, signed by 52 Senators, stating that they 'express the strong, majority support in the United States Senate for Miguel Estrada,' be printed in the Record." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
