Byron Dorgan: “Isn't it the case the bill at the desk is a House bill which was passed by the House on a clearly partisan 216 to 214…”

“Isn't it the case the bill at the desk is a House bill which was passed by the House on a clearly partisan 216 to 214 vote. In fact the bill out of the Senate Finance Committee is not at the desk, but a point of order was made against it. I believe the Senator from New Mexico supported the point of order that took the Senate Finance Committee bill off the floor, and it is not pending. I want to correct that because I think the implication of the Senator was, well, that bill is at the desk, why isn't it here? Is it not the case it was pending and a vote was held on a point of order? And I believe the Senator from New Mexico supported the point of order and therefore it is not pending.”
