00:00As we all know, the President is going to be sending up a nominee for the Supreme Court vacancy later
00:04this week.
00:06I anticipate, we all anticipate, it's going to be an extremely well-qualified woman.
00:10Well, as all of us have pointed out, we have an obligation under the Constitution,
00:14should we choose to take advantage of it,
00:17with a President of the same party as the Senate to advance the nomination.
00:23And we will certainly do that this year.
00:26This Senate, the current Senate, elected the last time in 2018,
00:32will be here until the end of the year, and the President will be here until January 20th.
00:35What we do know is what the job is right now.
00:41The job right now is for this well-qualified nominee, which I expect we'll see on Saturday,
00:47to be processed in committee and brought to the floor and voted on.
00:52And that's what we anticipate will happen.
00:55Leader McConnell?
