“If I could bring everyone back to reality, the problem of the day--not next week or the week after--is that we have about 122 hours of debate time, excluding voting, and the leader indicated he wants to do that today. So that means about 2:30 or 3 o'clock this morning unless something is done carrying this matter over or shortening the time. I think it is great to talk about the future. That is important. But my concern is what we have here today and it is a tremendous burden. As I indicated, I think we have over 12 hours of debate time in the unanimous consent request alone.”
