                              Nominations

  Mr. President, on nominations, it was another productive week here on 
the Senate floor when it comes to judges. By the end of today, the 
Senate will have confirmed another six highly qualified judicial 
nominees to lifetime appointments on the Federal bench this week--five 
District judges and one circuit court, all with bipartisan support. I 
thank my colleagues on both sides for their cooperation.
  Confirming highly qualified, diverse judges has been one of the 
Senate Democrats' highest priorities the moment we entered the 
majority. This was a very good week in that regard.
  But we are by no means done. You can be sure that confirming judges

bringing balance to the Judiciary will remain a top priority in the 
Senate in the days, weeks, and months ahead.
  I yield the floor.
