This is an incredibly important piece of legislation. I certainly have to stand corrected if I misquote him. but I think the distinguished Senator from Massachusetts has indicated to the effect that it is very likely the most important piece of legislation we may consider this year. certainly in that category. So. being that it deserves obviously serious scrutiny and deliberation. it is in that spirit that I engaged in extensive discussion in the Judiciary Committee. but I think the Senator would agree that I attempted there in every way to move my concerns on in an orderly deliberative way as he has done on the Judiciary Committee with the immigration bill or gun control. He had important substantive amendments. and we talked about them. That is the spirit in which I went about the Voting Rights Act and that is the spirit in which I come to it here in the Chamber.
