Bob Corker said "I know the public is greatly confused by cloture motions, and I will say, even as the person in charge of the bill, I am confused also, but I will let that stand, and I thank the Chair. I know the next speaker we are hoping to hear from will be Senator Cornyn at 2 p.m., Senator Scott at 2:20, Senator Blunt at 2:30, and then Senator Heller at 3 o'clock. I hope they will be down soon, and I will let the time be accruing against both sides by suggesting the absence of a quorum. I ask unanimous consent that during the period of time there is a quorum call, it be charged equally to both sides. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
