all day we have heard that we are slow- walking this bill. In an effort to help manage what goes on here, we have asked the Senator from California who has a CAFE amendment to be the next in order. We have 382 amendments. We have about half of them over here. Any one of the Senators can call up any one of their amendments. I think it would be in the best interest of the Senate if we have an orderly process for offering these amendments. This does not disadvantage the majority in any way. We have done what we can to help move this bill forward. Senator Feinstein spoke. She came over to offer this amendment and couldn't do it.

The filibuster is going away. It is nothing that helps the country. It doesn’t help states. It doesn’t help individuals. It is on its way out. It’s a question of when it goes.
