“I say to our most distinguished senior colleague that this amendment was well debated on the floor, but I would bring to the attention of all Senators that we do not have any estimates of how long the war on terrorism against the jihadists is going to take place.

They are not subject, unless the Senate at that time somehow restores the importance of the next President to continue--to continue, Mr. President--bringing to justice and trial under our rules these individuals who are committing war crimes. So I urge all Senators to oppose this amendment.”
