mr. roberts: mr. president? the presiding officer: the senator from kansas. mr. roberts: i rise to address the nomination of cornelia pillard for the d.c. circuit. it appears to me the environment in which we are discussing these nominations is a good example of the new rules of the senate. we're already getting a taste of the new world order around here. it didn't take long. it's only but a few weeks but we are already experiencing life in the new senate. those in the majority who wanted to change the rules are now certainly getting their wish. it should have been obvious that the rule change would impact the senate in many unforeseen ways. we in the minority have had to find other ways to make our voices heard. as we watch the majority use its new power to move whoever it wants through this body, we should realize that we have started down a course from which we will never return. indeed, we should expect more changes in the future. the majority changed the rules because it did not like how they wer

mr. roberts said the real problem is that park merced has drawn all water from these large trees, we are condemning them to a slow death. as well as on gonzales alone, roughly 12 trees have been removed, significant trees and not replanted. and this is concern. ted also recommended that this be cabled and says that 35 years can go with cabling their turn buckles on it. i honestly don't know if arbor well has the experience or the ability to do this. i am not sure, but they can be cabled. and i know that the department's concern is insurance issues but the ted says that we are insured. and if these were my clients, and i had a 70 percent chance if i got water on me immediately he said bring a sprinkler, anything to hydrate them. i would take it. 811 gonzales. again, i will have the photo. and thank you. again, this is an 80 percent chance of saving, we will have ten to 15 years with it and but it needs immediate hydration *, and pentra bark to pick up the immune system with the proper pruning which needs to be removed and all of this and you can only take a third of the plant off or you w

roberts. what's interesting about mr. wolf here is he is actually a discountry cousin of president obama's. least, pat roberts is pretty conservative. i'm not sure kansas has had a lot of very conservative policy. i'm not sure how you outconservative a guy who's pretty conservative in a state that's already very conservative, manu. >> that's right. the thing that roberts is really getting hit on is that he supported kathleen sebelius, hhs secretary. remember, she's, of course, a former kansas governor. he spoke highly of her when she was nominated. as soon as there was word of a primary challenger he really started to go after her. he opposes her. he calls on her to resign. that's part of the thing milton wolf is really seizing upon. saying this is an incumbent who has backed a lot of republican light policy. it'll be interesting to see how roberts can deal with that. it's a very, very conservative electorate in kansas. this will be -- could be a challenge for him. >> susan, i have a little sound, of course, i just want to play for you. just so we can get a flavor of who this guy is. >> a lo
