Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I did not hear the gentleman rise to voice the same opposition to a resolution that will be voted on in the next series…”

“I did not hear the gentleman rise to voice the same opposition to a resolution that will be voted on in the next series of resolutions by a Member from his side of the aisle, Mr. Wilson of South Carolina; and it says congratulating the University of South Carolina Gamecocks on winning the 2010 NCAA Division. If you're going to rise because you think some bill shouldn't be on the floor, then you ought to rise all the time. As for what we should be devoting our time to, both sides of the aisle give time to resolutions requested by their constituents, and we give equal time. That doesn't mean we don't give time to very important matters, and we have given very significant time to very important matters this session, which is why it is considered one of the most historic sessions of the Congress of the United States.”
