Harry Reid: “I will try to respond to my friend. People around here are talking as if this is something that never has happened…”

“I will try to respond to my friend. People around here are talking as if this is something that never has happened before. This has happened--I don't remember all the times since I have been in the Senate that the Chair--as brilliant as our Parliamentarian is, and the Chair does its best to distinguish what the Parliamentarian wants, but he is not always sustained. I have been involved in a number of those examples. So it isn't as if this never happened before. We did it with the understanding that what is going on here is dilatory, and that is what the majority felt.”
