Political Quotes

“we have been waiting literally all afternoon for two Senators to offer amendments. I don't really think it is fair to the rest of the Senate to wait around here as we have. Calls have been made. I don't know what more we can do other than move to third reading. At the appropriate time this afternoon, that is what we are going to do. Everyone should be on notice that is going to be done. I know we talk about it all the time. I guess it is like the proverbial crying of wolf all the time. We do everything we can for people to come and offer their amendments. I really think it is unfair that everyone is waiting. At least 10 Senators are wanting to know what the schedule is and whether they can make certain arrangements for travel tonight or tomorrow afternoon or tomorrow morning. We do not know. We are waiting for people to come to offer amendments. I hope Senators will be more considerate of the other 98 Senators, plus all the staff and everyone else trying to get this bill completed. I think it is really unfair that we have waited as long as we have.”
