BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, now, on Senate business, today will be another busy day on the Senate floor, as we continue confirming more highly qualified judicial nominees to serve on the Federal bench.

Yesterday, we confirmed an outstanding circuit judge to a lifetime appointment for the Ninth Circuit. Today, we will continue to build on our efforts to restore balance to the Federal bench by holding votes on three more outstanding nominees.

The Senate will hold two votes this morning to advance two district court judges, and, later this afternoon, we will have three votes on President Biden's highly qualified judicial nominees.

And members should be aware that I filed cloture last night on two additional judges, and that moving their nominations forward will be a top priority for the Senate this week.
