I was really pleased to hear the Speaker say he did not have an objection to it, and was wondering, since it appears to have been cleared and so noncontroversial, could we get it out and could we get it passed?
I find that fairly astonishing, that they tell us we can go outside and talk about it, but we cannot talk about it on the floor.
I guess the question is, how long does it take for a reasonable investigation? Our problem is 2 years seems like a very long time. In the past, and we can bring those charts to the floor except they probably would be ruled out of order…
I was concerned about the words ``shameless demagoguery.'' I think those are words we could have taken down, and I do not really want to do that. But I think that is a very strong word.
