Harry Reid: “Again, through the Chair to my distinguished colleague from Texas, he…”

On the recordJuly 12, 2004

Again, through the Chair to my distinguished colleague from Texas, he also understands one of the ways we get bogged down on issues--on some occasions, not always--is by unlimited amendments. The Senator from Texas will recall in the matter dealing with class action, there was no desire on our behalf, that is, the minority, to have unlimited amendments. We indicated we would have a limited number of amendments. On this constitutional amendment, the Senator understands if the majority offers an amendment, we have people on our side who are champing at the bit to offer amendments. Does the Senator understand that?
