My good friend from the other side of the aisle clearly hasn't dealt with a lot of Native Americans, where the answer is normally pretty much the same. So, Madam Speaker, I do not yield. The SPEAKER pro tempore. The gentleman from Oklahoma does not yield. Therefore, the unanimous consent request cannot be entertained. Mr. McGOVERN. Madam Speaker, for the purpose of a unanimous consent request, I yield to my colleague from Massachusetts (Mr. Tierney).

I hold the Democrats in the Senate most responsible, but I don’t excuse the Republicans for letting them do it.
We have to remember the deal they are trying to enforce is when we had a Democratic president and a Democratic Senate. We don't have those anymore.
The only reason we’re doing it now is, first, the Senate Democrats, I think, have misused the filibuster, and honestly, the Republicans have let them misuse the filibuster.
It’s cheaper to try and cure it, or at least manage it and delay it, than it is to deal with it.
