On the recordSeptember 16, 2010
Madam President, I reserve the right to object, and I will object, because this side wants an open amendment process. We are tired of every time a bill comes to the floor in the greatest deliberative body in the world, they tie up the parliamentary tree so we can't have honest amendments. Secondly, the approach of my dear friend and colleague, whom I have worked with all of these years on the research tax credit, is not permanent and would not make it permanent, which is what the President has asked for. I object to the unanimous consent request. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Objection is heard. The debate time has expired. Under the previous order, amendments Nos. 4595, 4596, 4597, and 4598 are withdrawn. Motion to Suspend Under the previous order, there will now be 2 minutes of debate equally divided prior to a vote on the motion to suspend rule XXII offered by the Senator from Iowa, Mr. Grassley. Who yields time? If no time is yielded, the time will be charged equally. The Senator from Montana.
