Mr. President, would my friend, the Senator from Wyoming, read back the part that he said earlier in the speech about Democrats doing this, the reasons we are delaying? Would he do me that favor? The reason I am raising this is that we had a parliamentary question back when Elizabeth Warren was speaking on the Sessions nomination which, I guess, the majority leader questioned whether she was, in that case, questioning the motives or actions of a fellow Senator. It seems to me that the Senator from Wyoming, whom I respect, was doing the same about Democrats in the Senate.
