Yes. If I may, Mr. President. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from South Carolina.

Mr. President, along that line, if I could pose a question to my colleague: How many States have joined the lawsuit saying the individual mandate is unconstitutional, if the Senator knows that number? The Senator just indicated how many…

I would strongly suggest that you have those cuts prepared now. I think it is only fair.

If I may, I think the Senator is going to find this case going to the Supreme Court in a year or two--the sooner the better, as far as I am concerned. I don't know how the Court will rule, but I can understand why attorneys general would…

I would strongly suggest to put real names, real items, on this list thoughtfully, independently.

Mr. President, if I could make this point to my colleague: No judge is going to ask the average person what they think, nor should they. This is a legal question. I don't know how it is going to come out. I think it is probably 50-50. What…

No. 1, Senator Barrasso, who is an orthopedic surgeon, has been a great addition to the Republican conference and to the Senate as a whole. He is a doctor and has practiced medicine longer than he has been in politics, I am sure, and he…

Mr. President, if I could interrupt and ask the Senator from Wyoming about waivers that have been given. Can the Senator tell us a little bit about the waivers that have been granted? Aren't we basically allowing a State to request a…

Mr. President, I ask the Senator, what percentage of the waivers involve union plans?

Well said. It is now time for the United States to say what we are for and urge the Egyptian people to realize their hopes and dreams and that we want to be their partner. Now is not the time to sever the partnership. Now is the time to…

Mr. President, I congratulate and compliment my colleagues from Massachusetts and Arizona. This resolution represents the best of the Senate. We have two people who are very well versed in the ways of the world and understand America and…

Tomorrow is a big day for the future of Egypt. Senator McCain said it well: To the Army, I doubt if they are watching C-SPAN, but they have a chance to bring order out of chaos and to continue to have respect throughout the world and…

Yes. Mr. McCAIN. Isn't it time to urge democracy and freedom and not the time to threaten? There is plenty of time to threaten the Government and people of Egypt with reprisal. The time now is to urge democracy and freedom.

How dependent are you today on American military security for your movements?

You need to provide some assistance and nurturing to make sure they grow up strong and healthy.

To carry out your mission in 2012 without U.S. military security being provided, we're basically creating a small DOS army, correct?

We're not staying in a place where we're not wanted, is that a fair statement, whatever 'staying' means?

If you bring all the troops home, we all would like that to happen as soon as possible, you still have a country that is in a very early stage of development in terms of democracy.
