Bob Bennett: “In the spirit of full disclosure, I am going to be very shameless in pushing my bill.”

the whole question of minority rights in the Senate is one of the most significant ones we can deal with, and the filibuster has changed over the years.

We will not only lose the industry, we will lose the skills that go with it.

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.

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