Senate Judiciary Markup May 16th. cont.

The mark-up for S.744 will continue at 9:30 A.M on May 16th.

I read somewhere this Mark up session will continue on Friday as well. How many more mark up meetings can we expect? My guess would be we are at the half way stage of the process! Leahy is doing a tremendous job!

If the Republicans keep delaying Leahy's effort he has threatened into Friday or even Saturday if necessary to get this back on track.I believe Senator Leahy mentioned he wants a final vote in the Judiciary before Memorial day and Reid mentioned he would like to get started early next month on the full Senate floor.

Senate Judiciary Committee is on a recess; they finished quicker than anticipated today. They will reconvene on Monday at 10am. The committee will have late evening sessions next week to try and complete the bill (before the Memorial day weekend).
