Senate. allegedlyand it isthe most important. deliberative body for public policy issues and questions. there is no mistake about it. effectively it has been handcuffed. been handcuffed from considering measures that these Members felt were important to have debate and discussion on and to be disposed of. as we have for 200 years on the floor of the U.S. Senate. But what did we find out last week? We found that we went through this incredible kind of a trapeze act. As a result of going through these parliamentary procedures. we have delayed the illegal immigration bill. Last week we were dealing with the spectacle of a rarely used motion to recommit. but only to recommit to the committee of jurisdiction for an Instant. a nanosecond. an instant. and then to report back to the floor. In other words. it was a sham motion to recommit.
