Members of the House of Representatives discussed the confirmation of U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Clarence Thomas to the Supreme Court during the period of one minute speeches on the House floor. Several Republican House members objected to language used by Rep. DeLauro concerning discussion of the actions of the Senate, which resulted in a delay of several minutes while the chair determined the propriety of Rep. DeLauro’s remarks. Rep. Gephardt then introduced a resolution to allow Rep. DeLauro to finish her remarks, which passed in a vote of 260-145. close
