Just so Senators know, Senator Reid has filled the tree, but what we hope to persuade him is that we know the number of amendments we have and that he doesn't need to do that. He is perfectly able to withdraw that. And I know several of our Republican colleagues are discussing this afternoon how many amendments they want to offer, and it is my hope that we will soon be able to start voting on those amendments, vote on them tomorrow, and finish the bill sometime tomorrow." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
