“I wish to respond to some comments that were just made. The distinguished assistant Democratic leader asserts Mr. Pryor has been rejected before. He has not been rejected before. He has not been given an up-or-down vote. He has not been given a vote. We have a majority of Senators who supported him previously. A majority will support him, and it is absolutely wrong to say he has been rejected. He has not been given a vote. For the first time in the history of this country, we are facing a filibuster of judges, and it is not right. It is time to deal with this situation. I hope our colleagues on the other side will yield. If not, I hope they hear from the American people.”
