Political Quotes

On the recordNovember 28, 2012
Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that it now be in order for Senator Leahy to call up his amendment No. 2955; that the time until 6 p.m. be equally divided in the usual form; that at 6 p.m. the Senate proceed to a vote in relation to the Leahy amendment No. 2955; further, that there be no amendments in order to the Leahy amendment prior to the vote. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Mr. McCAIN. Reserving the right to object, but I am not objecting, I wish to engage in a colloquy with the distinguished chairman. Is it our intention to continue to consider amendments following this amendment, and I don't know whether there is a possibility of votes, but we certainly--isn't it correct to say we could consider amendments, and we will try to dispose of them given the limited time we have to consider the bill?
