Thomas R. Carper: “Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this.”

For too long, the seats have not been filled, and not been filled properly.

Given how important this obviously is, my only regret is that we didn't have an opportunity to talk about it 24 hours ago.

We help make the rules for the country, and we do not do this by ourselves.

Thank you for your passion, and I would ask that we spend the rest of this day dealing with this.
