Tigermike 3,065 Posted May 19, 2005 Share Posted May 19, 2005 Name That Speaker: May 19, 2005 Thursday's Edition of Name That Speaker comes as the nomination of Justice Priscilla Owen has now reached the four year, one week and three day mark. Your hint: This speaker was active on the Senate floor yesterday. Remember, the rules are simple: Read the following quote and try to identify who said it. The answer appears below, but don't cheat. Make your guess before clicking for the answer. Referring to Owen, this speaker said, "So, if my good friend from Utah would have the same patience, and sort of maybe we can come to an agreement 2 or 3 years from now––maybe after 2004––then we would be being fair; we would be judging one side and the other with the same standard." So, who said it? A member of the Republican leadership? Someone on the judiciary committee? Justice Owen'sformer colleague on the Texas Supreme Court, Sen. John Cornyn? ............................. If you guessed that the speaker was U.S. Sen. Charles Schumer (D–N.Y.), you win!
