Byron Dorgan: “Have a record vote and strip it out. As I understand the circumstances, those with whom the Senator disagrees at this…”

Have a record vote and strip it out.

They will lose the vote, and lose the vote by a fairly large margin. Will the Senator from South Carolina agree with that assessment?
