Political Quotes

“There appears to be no one on the floor who wants to speak. I could go another 4 or 5 hours if the Senate would like to stay in session. Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 10 a.m., Tuesday, February 26; further, that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired and the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day, and morning business be closed; that the Senate proceed to executive session and resume consideration of the Miller nomination; further, that the Senate recess from 12:30 p.m. until 2:15 p.m. to allow for the weekly conference meetings; finally, that all time during recess, adjournment, morning business, and leader remarks count postcloture on the Miller nomination. Is there objection? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________”
