Political Quotes

On the recordOctober 6, 2011
First of all, I thank the leader for taking the time to explain from his perspective. Here is what I don't understand. We had a cloture motion to proceed on Monday. It is Thursday night. We have had no votes on anything other than a cloture vote. I guess what I would love to understand is, why don't we just immediately begin voting on amendments? We could have been done with this bill yesterday. Instead, everybody cools their heels, waits around, while some negotiation takes place--sort of a self-appointed rules committee. And at the end, something like this happens. I wish to understand from the leader's perspective why we don't just vote on amendments? We could have been done yesterday.
