Mike Levin: “Not at all. My desire is that I not lose my opportunity to have a vote on my amendment. I do not want a vote today.…”

“Not at all. My desire is that I not lose my opportunity to have a vote on my amendment. I do not want a vote today. Let's be very clear on this. When the operating UC was entered into, it was my understanding that amendments would be allowed to be offered today and Monday. It was also my understanding that there was an intention that that meant those amendments would be voted on at some point--not today but at some point. If there is any doubt that that is the intention of the leadership or of the floor managers, to allow votes on amendments that are offered today, the only way I can come close to having assurance that there will be a vote on my amendment at some point will be to modify any UC to agree to set aside my amendment, which will be fine, but then make it a part of the UC that my amendment then be the amendment that is in order on Monday, because otherwise I am weakening the position I have.”
