“I want to, one more time, implore our colleagues--we have some colleagues who have multiple amendments pending. By the time we end this tranche, we will have had nearly 40 votes. That is significantly more than any of the last 3 years we have had a budget resolution in terms of recorded rollcall votes. But we have some colleagues--I do not know whether this is their staff speaking for them or whether Members are actually so wedded to those amendments. I would ask colleagues to ask their staffs how many amendments they have on these lists. We have a list here of 50 more amendments. That really is not reasonable. That is not reasonable by any historic standard.”
