John Barrasso said "With that, I thank and congratulate my colleague for his vision and his foresight and his leadership because this is, I believe, how the Founding Fathers would have seen it. I believe those who wrote the Constitution would be on board with this piece of legislation to say, as the 10th amendment does say, ``The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people.'' I yield the floor, and I suggest the absence of a quorum. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Bingaman.) The clerk will call the roll. The assistant legislative clerk proceeded to call the roll." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
