I would be glad to yield to the gentleman. Mr. McCARTHY. I would ask the gentleman to join with me, then, in requesting that the Democrats on the Senate--the filibuster denies the bill to even come up for debate, let alone it be voted for…

I do. That is why we didn't have a lot of debate because we were asking for Mr. King's bills to be brought to the floor, as I recall. So I do believe in that. Mr. McCARTHY. Will the gentleman yield to me?

I would be glad to yield to my friend. Mr. McCARTHY. The only thing I want to clarify here is: Do you believe in debate and having the opportunity for people to air different sides?

Well, I presume that. I presume that the majority--and I will say this, that for whatever reasons--and your party is in control of both the House and the Senate. Yes, we have the Presidency, the Democrats, but no bills have reached his…

The majority party rejected the bipartisan legislation that came from the Senate with 68 votes. That is more than two-thirds of the Senate. Half of the Republicans in the United States Senate passed that bill over to us, and we could have…
