Cord Byrd: “But my friends on that side did not vote for cloture. Whatever the vote was at that time, they did not vote for cloture.…”

On the recordSeptember 19, 2002
But my friends on that side did not vote for cloture. Whatever the vote was at that time, they did not vote for cloture. So they have not helped me to get on with the appropriations bills. Consequently, I made a generous offer at that point, but I am concerned about that offer. The Senator did not take me up on it. Senators on that side did not take me up on that. They did not help remove that block. I want to look at the Senator's amendment again when it comes time to vote on it. I am concerned about judicial review, about that aspect of it and some other things.
