I ask unanimous consent that the resolution be agreed to, that the preamble be agreed to, and that the motions to reconsider be considered made and laid upon the table. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The…

Mr. President, I believe we are all familiar with the question: If a tree falls in the woods and no one is there to hear it, does it make a sound? Well, here in the U.S. Senate, we can ask the question: If we accomplish something important…

To my colleague from West Virginia, your question is, What are the characteristics that define continuous debate on final passage? And it is defined as without interruptions that take us in other directions than the question of final…

What we are voting on now is to go to final passage with continuous debate, and the majority leader's team has crafted this to ensure continuous debate.

Thank you. I am struck by your comment that in all previous situations, the rules have been modified by a change in the rules that has been done through the rules process because--I would encourage you to read up on your Senate history--it…

I do appreciate your response, and it is so rare that we actually have any dialogue on the floor of the Senate. It is one of the things we lost. I do recall in that moment that, for over a year, we had working groups trying to resolve the…
