We have confirmed three judges from Georgia and I want to compliment the two Senators from Georgia for their hard work, both in the Judiciary Committee and the White House. And in that, I am sorry they had to wait so long. On this side of the aisle we cleared every one of those for a voice vote months ago.

Madam President, I would like to yield to the distinguished Senator from Utah, Senator Lee, for 4 minutes. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Utah.
