“I note that the New York Times this morning points out that on the homeland security bill--and I am going to quote from an editorial in the New York Times: . . . the Democrats have made key concessions on personnel management for the department in recent weeks that give the administration almost everything it wants. It is clear Senators on this side are very anxious to attack the serious questions that are before this country. This editorial really sums it up. They point out literally that Democrats have practically done somersaults to address these important questions that colleagues on the other side and the administration have with respect to homeland security, and this morning in one editorial in the New York Times, they say on the other side of the aisle there is an inexcusable filibuster taking place on a measure that is of great importance to this country as we struggle to win this war against terrorism.”
