	Senior Senator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Senior Senator and Junior Senator are terms commonly used in the media to describe U.S. Senators.
		Each U.S. state sends two senators to serve in the Senate; the longer (continuously) serving of the two is by convention referred to as the "senior" senator, and the other is referred to as the "junior" senator.
		Greater seniority enables a Senator to choose a desk closer to the front of the Senate Chamber.

	United States Senate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Senators serve for six-year terms that are staggered so elections are held for approximately one-third of the seats (a "class") every second year.
		The senator from each state with the longer tenure is known as the "Senior Senator," and their counterpart is the "junior senator"; this convention, however, does not have any official significance.
		The Senate meets in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. Like the House of Representatives, the Senate meets in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. At one end of the Chamber of the Senate is a dais from which the Presiding Officer (the Vice President or the President pro Tempore) presides.

	Arlen Specter - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence from 1995, when the Republicans gained control of the Senate, until 1997, when he became chairman of the Committee on Veterans Affairs.
		Specter, through a feud with Senator Harry Reid on the floor of the Senate, his position as Chairman of the Judiciary Committee and his opposition to a new budget plan proposed by the Bush administration, has emerged as a nationally recognized figure from his previous, more taciturn role in the public eye.
		Senator John Sununu shaved his head to show solidarity with Specter when he was undergoing chemotherapy and was temporarily bald.

	Bill Frist
		Frist has pledged to leave the Senate after two terms, which would be in 2006; this would leave him ideally placed to pursue a presidential run in the 2008 presidential election.
		During his tenure as the Senate Majority Leader, Senator Frist watched videotapes that were made and edited by an advocacy group that felt that Florida resident Terri Schiavo should not be disconnected from equipment that sustained her bodily functions.
		As of 2005, Harrison is a senior at Princeton University, Jonathan is a freshman at Vanderbilt University, and Bryan attends St. Albans School in Washington, D.C..

	Mary Landrieu - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Landrieu was elected to the U.S. Senate in the presidential election year of 1996, defeating Woody Jenkins by 5,788 votes out of 1.7 million cast, the narrowest national result of the 33 races for the U.S. Senate and one of the closest election margins in Louisiana history.
		With the departure of John Breaux from the Senate in December 2004, his seat being taken by David Vitter, Landrieu became Louisiana's senior senator.
		On May 23, 2005, Landrieu was among the Gang of 14, the group of moderate senators who forged a compromise on the use of the judicial filibuster, thus blocking the Republican leadership's attempt to implement the so-called nuclear option over the organized filibustering by Senate Democrats of judicial nominees in the U.S. Senate.

		When the Senate was split 50-50 between Republicans and Democrats this year, Senate members and aides engaged in what came to be known as the "Strom Watch," because any downturn in Thurmond's health could force him to give up his seat and break the tie.
		Thurmond would rather be nowhere else than the Senate, in which he has served longer than any other member, holds the record for solo filibustering and still casts votes in a clear voice that reaches from his front-row desk to the farthest corners of the gallery.
		At the time, as the Senate's president pro tem, Thurmond was third in line to succeed the president after the vice president and the speaker of the House.

		Former senator Bob Dole, R-Kan., is one of the sponsors, along with Thad Strom, a distant cousin of the senator who worked on his staff for many years and now is a Washington lobbyist.
		But he said Thurmond particularly enjoyed the Senate's confirmation of South Carolinian Dennis Shedd to the federal court of appeals, a nomination that Democrats had blocked until they lost their Senate majority in the elections Nov. 5.

		Speaking of memos Roberts wrote during the Reagan administration, Feingold said, "In memo after memo, his writings were highly ideological and sometimes dismissive of the views of others." This does not bode well for a chief justice who must consider the opinions of his colleagues and attempt to achieve consensus on the Court.
