“That is really too bad. I say that because it would seem that something this important to the American public should at least have an up-or-down vote. All we want is a resolution from this body saying it is appropriate that the Attorney General, in effect, recuse himself and assign a special prosecutor to look into this most serious matter. There is no question that somebody committed a crime. We don't know who it is or who they were, but leaking this information is a crime. It is a felony punishable by at least 10 years in prison. I think it is unfair. We know that Senate rules often don't appear to be fair. But in this instance, it would certainly be the right thing to do to allow an up-or-down vote. I yield back whatever time we have.”
