The intention is to be equally divided. I would like it to be back and forth, if we can do that. Let me take this opportunity to say that the purpose is because we are all running around doing so many different things over the course of the day. I ask my Senate colleagues to pay attention to what I am about to say because the purpose is to bring as many people to the floor to listen and discuss and debate what the Constitution says and our interpretation of the Constitution at an elevated level. That is the purpose in setting aside that time from 11 to 12:30. Time should be equally divided, and look for some outstanding discussion on what is a very important principle in our Constitution.
