Pete Domenici: “You say they have a right. They do not want to exercise that right. They want to do it this way. Frankly, we can stop…”

“You say they have a right. They do not want to exercise that right. They want to do it this way. Frankly, we can stop and the leaders can decide where we go next. But these sense-of-the-Senate amendments that we are adopting here should not really hold up the budget because they do not affect the budget. They are sense of the Senates that have to do with how we feel about things and what we want to make people think about the Senate with reference to the subject matter of the sense-of-the-Senate resolutions. But you have every right, and you exercise it with dignity, although for many of us it is a pretty tough pill. Even your dignity makes it a tough pill.”
