On the recordJanuary 25, 1995
this resolution has no more meaning and no more use than side pockets on a cow. This is a fraud. This is a sham. My Republican colleagues are suddenly concerned that the senior citizens have discovered that nowhere in this amendment to the Constitution which they are pushing is there any protection for senior citizens on Social Security. So all of a sudden they come forward with this wonderful document, but this document means nothing. It has no more significance than the soup made from the shadow of a pigeon which stood in place yesterday. It affords no protection to the senior citizens of this country whatsoever. It can be ignored at any time the Congress chooses. It has no enacting clause. It has no force and effect on the rules of the House or Senate. It has no constitutional meaning, it is absolutely nothing, it is a sham, it is a fraud, it is nothing. I will tell my Republican colleagues: You can run but you cannot hide. And, you assuredly cannot hide behind this nonsensical piece of hooey.
