Harry Reid said "The Senator is asking in this motion filed to recommit this bill to the committee, basically what the chairman of the Budget Committee said last year, that this should be referred back to committee because this bill has not had a committee hearing before it came here, and after the Supreme Court decision, so that people who are involved or have some questions about the legislation can do as Senator Nickles said, try to improve it, have an opportunity to amend it, change it. Win or lose, at least have the opportunity to try." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
