Political Quotes

“I will update our colleagues over the course of the day and run down our schedule. In a couple of minutes, we will start the 1 hour of debate prior to the cloture vote on the death tax repeal. Therefore, that first vote is expected to begin sometime between about 10:45 and 10:50. Regardless of the outcome of that cloture vote, we will then have the final debate prior to the cloture vote on the motion to proceed to the Native Hawaiians bill. That vote is set for 12:45 this afternoon. The rest of today's schedule will depend on the outcome of those two cloture votes. We hope to have additional votes this afternoon on four district judges on the calendar, as well as the debate and the vote on the Schwab nomination to be U.S. Trade Representative. I remind everyone that last night we filed cloture on a Mine Safety and Health nomination. That cloture vote will occur tomorrow unless some other agreement is reached. ____________________”
