On the recordJuly 21, 2005
I respond to my friend, add to that the 2 weeks and 2 weeks, add 31 legislative days on judges, and understand that wound up being five people, three of whom are now judges, two of whom are not. As I understand it, we have more than 400,000 men and women in the military, not counting Guard and Reserve. They are entitled to as much time as we spent on bankruptcy, as much time as we spent on class action, and certainly as much as we spent on five people, every one of whom had a job. They were not jobless. There are more than 400,000 men and women, some of whom are out here in a hospital, in a bed because they cannot walk--at that hospital alone, there are more than 300 men and women who have lost limbs--and they deserve more than 2 or 3 days of Senate time.
