On the recordOctober 21, 1997
It seems to me that the only reason the tree is full with a final second-degree amendment that would be acceptable to everyone is simply to prevent others from offering amendments. I understand the parliamentary strategy here. But the problem is that it puts the Senate in the position of having kind of a glacial progress. I have never tried to watch a glacier move. But I have been told it will pass a lot of days.
