Political Quotes

“Madam President, I know there are a number of Senators on the floor who wish to speak on unrelated matters. I wish to speak on the underlying bill. I believe Senator Whitehouse and maybe Senator McCaskill and Senator Bennet wish to speak on the hold issue. I merely ask that we alternate back and forth after the next speaker speaks on whatever subject they do and that I then be allowed to speak on the underlying bill and then go back to the other side of the aisle. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. The Senator from Connecticut.”
