Bob Bennett: “It is not a time for this country to panic.”

I do share a sense of significant unease over what has been happening in the Senate.

the majority has chosen to focus on what it believes to be the abuse of the filibuster by the minority, but these hearings have also revealed how the Majority Leader can abuse the rules of the Senate to limit debate and amendment.

This Administration performed something--that I thought was absolutely egregious and outrageous, and the only way I could demonstrate my concern about that was to put a hold on a nomination.

So I think the rule change that said it is a constitutional supermajority of all the Senators duly sworn is a step in the level of accountability for one's position with respect to a piece of legislation.
