Madam President, reserving the right to object. We had an agreement to have an hour's worth of debate, where the opponents of the bill were given 30 minutes and the proponents of the bill were given 30 minutes, and the unanimous consent allowed me the remaining 30 minutes.

The time was used by all kinds of other people talking about things not related to the debate. It does a disservice to the debate that we did that.
