John Cornyn: “The following Senators are necessarily absent: the Senator from Georgia (Mr. Isakson) and the Senator from Pennsylvania…”

We didn’t have the authority to sort that out.

I'm not prepared to vote yes without an agreement.

If this were just between me and Todd Blanche, we would have worked this out, but, apparently, he’s getting some pushback from higher-ups at the White House. I don’t know who, but it doesn’t need to be this hard.

the fact of the matter, it’s dead, and that’s all we could do under these circumstances.
