On the recordJuly 25, 2012
Of course I know my friend from Arkansas knows his history. That was the whole battle of Federalist versus anti- Federalist. The Federalists won out. That's how the Constitution of the United States got adopted, a more powerful government to help the union of the States. Madam Chairman, I will close by simply noting the irony of opposing any kind of finite time limit. The very organization cited by my friend from Arkansas, NFIB, screams the loudest about uncertainty. Yet here we are, going to have expeditious consideration that could take weeks or months here in this body, and we're not going to put a finite time limit to give them the predictability and the certainty that they say they want. I think it's the minimum required in this legislation if we really mean to effectuate change. I yield back the balance of my time.
