On the recordFebruary 12, 2003
She was never brought to the floor. I acknowledge that. She was not. She was 1 of 41 who were left hanging at the end of that administration in contrast to the 54 left hanging when the Democrats lost the Presidency and a Republican was President. In other words, 13 less. And 9 of the 41 were put up so late there was no way anyone could get through, so we are down to 32. And with 32 we had other problems. We can have all the statistics, but we "bettered" the Democrats in every case. She was not brought up so there was, naturally, no filibuster.
