To suggest that just one or two or three, or whatever it is, members of the Rules Committee can stop either the committee or the Senate from... a full and thorough investigation of all aspects of soft money, all aspects of other alleged areas of campaign finance or campaign reform that need to be addressed by the Senate I think is not a wise step to take at this point in time.
