Political Quotes

“Mr. President, I think it is appropriate that everyone be notified there will be no rollcall votes today. We are still working on what time it will be tomorrow. But we, as everyone knows and I have said here--this is the third time--we were within inches of having something worked out on having votes today, but for reasons I do not fully understand, the Republicans did not agree to that at the last minute, and now we have to figure out what time we are going to vote tomorrow. If we cannot work it out by consent, then, of course, we will do it 1 hour after we come in, which is the rule. We have competing interests. We have people who want it late tomorrow. We have people who want it early tomorrow. So we will try to see what we can do to work through that. Again, I appreciate my good friend for yielding.”
