  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, the Republicans, as we all know and as 
the Nation knows, are running the most partisan, most hypocritical, and 
least legitimate process in the history of Supreme Court nominations. 
That is why I suggested the absence of a quorum. We are not going to 
have business as usual.
  I yield the floor.
