Tom Coburn: “If the majority leader would yield, I think the leader could eliminate motions to proceed very easily by saying that…”

“If the majority leader would yield, I think the leader could eliminate motions to proceed very easily by saying that every bill that comes to the floor will have an open and honest debate determined by what colleagues and Members would like to debate, but we have not seen that. That is not just the Democratic control of the Senate; we have seen some with the Republican control of the Senate as well. We are not going to solve that problem now. I will take counsel with my caucus, and I will get back to the leader. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Udall of New Mexico). The majority leader. Amendment No. 2406”
