“Well, my hope is that by listening to these wonderful arguments, there is going to be persuasion. You are saying that you want to move to table my amendment and leave and go into morning business, and then I will have 2 minutes tomorrow to persuade a majority of my colleagues, which is not going to happen. There is going to be no persuasion. Senator Chafee and Senator Baucus will come down with 30 seconds each and they are going to say no, and they are not going to offer any arguments at all. They are not going to read anything into the Record or consider any arguments given. I appreciate that things get scheduled and bumped up against a late hour.”
