“I am sure it was a Freudian slip--59 Democrats voted for this. But next year at this time, there will be 59 Democrats at least. We have a situation where we have a clear bipartisan piece of legislation. How bad could it be? Mr. President, 355 Members of the House of Representatives. The Founding Fathers set up two equal branches within the legislative branch. The House is just as powerful as we are. They have every right to do what they think is right, as we do, and they, on a bipartisan basis, 6 to 1, passed this bill. We are not jamming anything down anyone's throat. The House of Representatives passed this on a bipartisan basis because it was the right thing to do. We have read into the Record the apology of one of the 59 who recognized he voted wrong, and he apologized.”
