Harry Reid: “So the record is very clear, Harry Reid, the majority leader, did not pick the Republican amendments. The Republican…”

On the recordJune 27, 2007
So the record is very clear, Harry Reid, the majority leader, did not pick the Republican amendments. The Republican leadership picked those amendments. Senator McConnell and I worked the process so that we would be back on the floor. It wasn't done by me; it was done by us. I would further say, these amendments, Republican amendments in this bill, were not picked by me; they were picked by the Republican leadership. I didn't stand over his shoulder. They chose what they decided to do.
