Jared Polis: “I thank the Speaker, and I understand that it sounds like sitting here in the Chamber one Member objected to a division…”

On the recordFebruary 14, 2013
I thank the Speaker, and I understand that it sounds like sitting here in the Chamber one Member objected to a division of the question. I would like to point out that over 400 Members did not object to the division of the question. I will not ask for a recorded vote on this, although I think it's clear that my side would win over 400-some to 1, perhaps. I did not hear any additional objections from anybody in the Chamber.
