Political Quotes

“Madam President, I just want to make a point that I have actually seen a number of amendments Senator Lee has made that I would like to vote on, and I don't believe that there is anyone here who is making a judgment about whether or not he should get the amendments, whether or not he is going to vote for the final passage of the bill. I just want to restate, again, whether or not he is aware that we are not getting on any amendments, probably a handful that would be his, because of objections offered by our colleagues. I just want to make that point. It has nothing to do with where he will ultimately vote on the bill. It has to do with the intransigence of some of our Members who simply won't seek agreement, which is how we operate in the Senate. Thank you, Madam President. Thank you, Senator Lee.”
