I have to tell you that at only 20 minutes per side, that sort of gives a signal to veterans also what the majority thinks about veterans. This is a good bill and I'm going to support it, but it saddens me that this is the vehicle in which we're going to be allowed to talk about health care. But as I talk to the veterans of my four military installations back home and the ones who are retired in those areas, they're saying this is a horrible health care bill. I did not go to Iraq, I did not go to Vietnam, I did not fight in World War II for you to take away my freedom in one piece of legislation. I've got to remind my friends of what the Speaker said just a week or two ago. I quote directly Speaker Nancy Pelosi: 'We need to pass this bill so you can find out what's in it.' Does anyone deny that is a direct quote from the Speaker? That is exactly what Speaker Pelosi said.

You can't fight a special prosecutor. You can't fight a federal judge when you get in their bull's eye and then you're more likely to talk.
