If the Senator heard me speak, I spoke quite a while about that. I said how wrong I was, how green I was, how I was frustrated with the Republicans blocking things. And I was dead wrong. I also said that what we tried to do is change the rules, which takes 67 votes. We did not go in the dead of night to try and get it done. So, yes, the Senator is right. I was dead wrong. Tough to admit that, but I have been very open about that since the beginning of the debate.
