On the recordFebruary 25, 2010
It has been a long night. It is called an ambush. That is what happened. The consent that I was assured of was going to be that the Senator from Illinois offer the same--I am going to get it right--30-day extension without an offset. He was going to offer it, and I was going to have a chance to object. We weren't going to stand around for 3rac{1}{2} hours debating the issue. That is the understanding I had with the leader of the Democrats. Now, I don't know what I have for tomorrow. I have been assured that the Senator from Illinois will offer the same amendment tomorrow morning, and I will have a chance to object, if I so choose. But I want to assure the people who have watched this thing until a quarter of 12, I have missed the Kentucky-South Carolina game that started at 9 o'clock. It is the only redeeming chance we had to beat South Carolina, since they are the only team that has beat Kentucky this year.
