and in hollywood, is carlos diaz, he's a syndicated radio host. all right, we know kate is coming off for rating's bonanza on "dancing with the stars." she's got this new huge fan base as a result, plus she's starting her own gig next month. it seems to me kate doesn't really need the kids on tv to make money anymore. and i have said all along, i think it is a bad idea to raise these kids on television. carlos, is it a mistake to put them back on the tube? >> a.j., you and i agree on a lot of things, and on this one, we differ. i'm sorry! i want to see these kids on tv. i -- i -- it's not any kind of voyeuristic thing. it is, these kids are cute. they have entertainment value. i honestly think that kate, although she -- she's got a big fan base, as you just said, i think kate show this summer will struggle on tlc. a big fat paycheck to help raise these kids is the best thing for these kids. >> carlos, i love how you say, because you want to see them back on tv another, a good idea. that's pretty much what i took from that. >> i'm very selfish, i'm

judge diaz has served in the marine corps. he has nine years of state court judicial experience. judge wynn is a certified military trial judge and a captain in the united states navy reserves. i ask unanimous consent that the senate proceed to executive session and notwithstanding rule 22, the senate proceed to those executive calendar numbers 656 and 657, that the nominations be confirmed en bloc, that the motions to reconsider be laid upon the table en bloc, that any statements relating to the nominations appear at the appropriate place in the record as if read, that the president be immediately notified of the senate's action. mr. kyl: thank you. mr. president, i appreciate my colleague restating the request. just restating the right to object, and i will object, as i think my colleagues are aware, the two leaders have worked out a prots for -- a process for consideration of -- at least some of the judicial nominations. my understanding is that there is another agreement on at least one and maybe -- no, two circuit court nominations, that they are working out time agreements

wynn and diaz' nominations have been pending in the senate for only 167 days. that's half the time -- half the time -- that president bush's circuit court nominees waited. 350 days. in fact, four of president bush's nominees to the fourth circuit never received any hearing, and they were highly qualified nominees. those nominees, mr. steve matthews, chief judge robert conrad, judge glenn conrad, and former maryland united states attorney, rob rowenstein were well qualified, had bipartisan support of their home state senators, yet they were blocked steadfastly from ever moving forward. president bush nominated steve matthews in september of 2007 to the same seat on the fourth circuit for which judge diaz has now been nominated and expects to be confirmed and will be confirmed, i'm sure. but for them -- to hear whining about how long it takes judge diaz to move along in a fairly steadfast way, in light of what was done to mr. matthews, is a bit much, to me. i just have to tell you. we all know -- you know, this is a robust body. we don't mind speaking our minds.
