                              Nominations

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. President, I just listened to my friend, the 
majority leader, speak. Let me say, historically bad nominees deserve 
historic levels of scrutiny. I saw the majority leader bring out a 
chart again today comparing the situation right now to past nominees 
from past administrations. What he fails to mention is we have never 
seen nominees as flawed, as compromised, as unqualified as we have 
right now. And the Republican Senators know that.
  So, once again, historically bad nominees deserve a historical level 
of scrutiny.
