Mike Enzi said "I support the motion to proceed. I unequivocally support the motion to proceed. I am sincerely disappointed that we didn't get the motion to proceed. What we are faced with right now is unlimited debate on whether we get to debate. So I would like to have some kind of a time agreement, if we got passed this motion to proceed--which is unlimited debate on whether to debate--then we have unlimited debate on unlimited amendments. So there is the capability of doing extensive debate on any amendment that anybody wants with no time limits on any of those amendments or debate on the entire bill. The most particular one is the Presidential set-aside, the Presidential set-aside that allows the President ultimate authority over every bit of national security, which is what the President should have." @ PoliticalQuotes.com
