Well, it sure hasn't taken very long. Mr. Wu, I guess, would oppose a Republican bill but support Mr. Durbin's bill. I would invite the gentleman; you know, not long ago you and I got into a debate on this floor and what I asked the gentleman to do is to read the bill. What I would welcome the gentleman again is to read the bill, because the bill that you said you didn't like then, you should like it now. Or you like this one now but you didn't like it then? What is interesting here is that when we came to this floor, what they have done in this bill is they have essentially taken exactly what we had done earlier in the year and actually said: Okay, for Federal lands, for national cemeteries in Arlington, we already have that bill. We are going to put now a section just after it, and the very same time, manner, place, content neutral restrictions that have been constitutionally upheld are going to be in this bill. I would just ask the gentleman to remain consistent.
