“I am going to be very strict when people start engaging in dialog and not going through the Chair. The Senate is a great institution. It is not a little chat club. I am warning my colleagues, they should go through the Chair. To say that when we do a Senate reorganizing resolution, we are supposed to solve staffing allocations, room allocations, and now blue-slip policies on appellate court judges, that is absurd. It has never been done. In the last Congress, after the Jeffords switch, there was a reorganizing resolution. It did mention staff, and it should not have.”
