                           Motion to Adjourn

  Mr. SCHUMER. Madam President, because of this illicit process, this 
rush to judgment, and the worst nomination proceeding of the Supreme 
Court in American history that has so defiled the Senate, I move to 
adjourn and to then convene for pro forma sessions only, with no 
business being conducted, at 12 noon on the following dates and that, 
following each pro forma session, the Senate adjourn until the next pro 
forma session: Friday, October 23; Tuesday, October 27; Friday, October 
30; Tuesday, November 3; and Friday, November 6; further, that if there 
is an agreement on legislation in relation to the COVID pandemic, the 
Senate may convene under the authority of S. Res. 296 of the 108th 
Congress; finally, that when the Senate adjourns on Friday, November 6, 
it convene at 4:30 p.m., Monday, November 9, and that following the 
prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of 
proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be 
reserved for their use later in the day, and morning business be 
closed.
  The PRESIDING OFFICER. That motion would require consent and is not 
in order.
