Harry Reid said "I direct a further question to my friend. Is he telling me then, in the waning days of this legislative session of the National Legislature that we are spending time on a vote that has already been taken--there will not be a single vote changed--when we have appropriations bills to complete, we have Internet taxation, and many other items we are trying to complete in a matter of days; that we are, for lack of a better description, wasting the Senate's time on a nomination that has already been rejected by the Senate?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com

Is he telling me then, in the waning days of this legislative session of the National Legislature that we are spending time on a vote that has already been taken--there will not be a single vote changed--when we have appropriations bills to complete, we have Internet taxation, and many other items we are trying to complete in a matter of days; that we are, for lack of a better description, wasting the Senate's time on a nomination that has already been rejected by the Senate?
