Political Quotes

“There is objection. I am sorry. I cannot be asked to consent to an unnamed consent agreement. Given that the majority leader, as I understand, is not going to consent to extend my time, then let me say quite simply to the majority leader that I will yield time to him for a question when the majority leader is prepared to yield to the American people. But I am not prepared to yield prior to that because Senator Grassley, Senator Sessions, and Senator Inhofe are waiting to speak. I believe they are endeavoring to listen to the American people. If the majority is going to cut off and muzzle us in another 24 minutes, then at this point I don't feel it is appropriate to allow the majority leader to consume that time. I will note to any Senators who were here--if anyone would care, I know a number of Senators are waiting to ask questions, I am prepared to yield to a question from any of them.”
