“I thank the gentleman for 5 minutes, when really 10 seconds is needed. Just for the sake of pointing this out, when we talk about the extra-Constitutionality or the implication is that somehow these endeavors are unconstitutional, I would simply point out nowhere in this document do you see the phrase ``continuing resolution.'' Nowhere in this document is it explicitly delineated that above all costs, government will remain open through the process of continuing resolutions. Good people can disagree about the intent of the Constitution and the dynamism of it and how it can be stretched and pulled and turned or interpreted in different manners. But I think it is worth noting that this is not some sort of sanctified notion that is somehow noble that we go back simply to business as usual and not deal with this question at this juncture in our history, for now the time draws here.”
