On the recordNovember 12, 2003
Virtually every Democrat said it, took the position a filibuster should never take place. All they asked for was an up-or-down vote. That is all they wanted, if we would just be decent enough to give them an up-or-down vote. We did. We were decent enough. What does that imply about what is going on on the other side? I will let the public draw their own conclusions. But we were decent. We did what was right. We gave them up-or-down votes. Frankly, what is going on here is just appalling.
