That allows us to, at some point in the future, have the option to reconsider the motion. We will make a decision on that at some point in the future. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The point of order against the bill is sustained. Pursuant to section 312(f) of the Budget Act, the bill is recommitted to the Judiciary Committee." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
