On the recordFebruary 12, 2024
A couple of things: First of all, it is still beside the point. I appreciate the observation made by my friend the Senator from North Carolina. It still misses the point. I was still here. I still sought to have my amendments made pending on half a dozen amendments, most of which were germane, on Saturday. There is no reason we couldn't make those pending. There was nobody objecting. The same Senators objecting to other amendments were not objecting to these. I don't know what that has to deal with this. Secondly, it was my understanding, when I agreed to entertain the first of those questions--to yield for a question--that it would not count against my time. I would ask consent that it does not. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered.
