Before I lock in and ask consent to recess the Senate until later this evening, I would also say, for the benefit of my colleagues, that we are scheduled to have four votes starting at 1 a.m. In order to expedite those votes, we are going to make them 15- minute votes, so Members should be prepared to get here for the 1 o'clock vote and then proceed quickly through the remaining votes in 15-minute increments. ____________________

It's a pretty simple measure, but an important way to ensure that members of Congress are held to the standards that America should be able to expect of their representatives.
The only conclusion one can draw is that the Democrats have concluded that it is good politics for them not to allow the Republicans to ‘get a victory’ or the president to ‘get a victory’ in the middle of a political season.
It’s a great message. I like the message. But it shouldn’t be paid for with taxpayer dollars.
Well, I think people are, there's voter fatigue with high gas prices and high diesel prices in my part of the world.
