“I will explain why I ask the question. It was reported to me that in the remarks the distinguished Senator made, he said, ``Let's be clear about who is killing the PATRIOT Act.'' I just wanted it to be clear that the action taken to prevent us from getting a vote on the PATRIOT Act was an action, a filibuster, or not invoking cloture, and that action has prevented us from completing action on the PATRIOT Act, which means we were not able to take a final vote on it and therefore to reauthorize it.”
