On the recordMarch 25, 2010
Madam President, we have had all sorts of amendments this morning. We have had amendments on malpractice, we have had amendments on guns, we have had amendments on immigration. Even last night we had amendments on some very interesting subjects, but this is the return of the killer amendment. We had a few killer amendments yesterday, and this is the return of the killer amendment. Why is it a killer amendment? Basically because this would suspend health care reform if certain arbitrary budget targets are not met. It is on again, off again, wondering about the other. It is clearly designed to kill the bill. Therefore, Madam President, I raise a point of order that the Vitter amendment violates section 313(b)(1)(c) of the Congressional Budget Act. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Louisiana.
