Harry Reid: “We finalize these amendments, and we will have disposed of 41 amendments. Senators are going to have to understand that…”

On the recordMarch 22, 2013
We finalize these amendments, and we will have disposed of 41 amendments. Senators are going to have to understand that this is not going to go on forever. The average is about 30 or 35 votes. After we finish, it will be 41. Everyone should understand that we had 400 amendments that had been offered, and we are not going to do that.
