I will be happy to in one second. The Republican leader keeps talking about not following the rules. We are following the Constitution of the United States to make these changes, and that is certainly appropriate. Your question? Mr. McCONNELL. If this is such a reasonable rule change, why not work to try to propose it on a joint basis, subject it to the 61-vote threshold? That would honor the tradition that the Senate is a continuous body whose rules go from Congress to Congress. I mean, that is what has been unique about the way rules changes have been done around here.
