I thank the gentleman. Mr. Speaker, it appears that no one is going to be able to tell me what the schedule is for the week to come. I will tell you that that is unfortunate. I hope there is a schedule for the week to come because there is…

Reclaiming my time, it seems what the gentleman is saying is that people vote not to discriminate, and then some time a little later on, they have an epiphany that perhaps discrimination is okay. Perhaps that is what the gentleman said.

I thank the gentleman for his comments. But let me make an observation. I wish the gentleman would stay in the well because he might want to respond. I did not accuse the Republican Party of discriminating. I will not, at this point in…

I want to raise a parliamentary inquiry, initially, with reference to the fact that Mr. Ryan, our Speaker, has told us that, if people were in the well, the vote would be held open. I was standing in the well. No one came or no one had the…

I thank the gentleman for protecting us from ourselves. That seems to be somewhat paternalistic, of course. As I understand it--and I was not there, but it wouldn't have mattered whether I was in the Committee on Rules--it was not done in…
