Chuck Schumer said "Madam President, just for a minute, I want to first salute the amazing speeches by our two Senators from Georgia--Georgia, which has been the crucible in our fight for voting rights, where the attempts to curtail voting rights seem most pernicious. To both of you, your erudition, your eloquence, your passion were amazing. And I want to salute our Republican colleagues who listened to the speeches, and hope that those who weren't here will get a chance to review those speeches as well. Unanimous Consent Agreement Madam President, now, I ask unanimous consent that the mandatory quorum call with respect to the pending cloture motion be waived. The VICE PRESIDENT. Without objection, it is so ordered." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
