“While I have the floor, Mr. Speaker, may I say to the distinguished majority leader, I wish to register a point of deep concern to our side of the aisle. There seems to be a recurring pattern this year where there are no substitutes or alternatives allowed on major, major bills. Today, the procedure did not even permit a motion to recommit to protect Social Security. Despite repeated promises to always guarantee the motion to Democrats, today it was denied on one of the most important votes in this Congress. I want to register objection and disappointment to this and ask the leader if he wishes to comment.”
