Mr. President. I want to express my strong support for the minority leader in this exchange effectively. But as he has pointed out. we are foreclosed from offering any amendments to H.R. 2937. which is before the Senate. We were foreclosed from offering amendments on the Illegal immigration bill. We had cloture imposed and the request that was made would have foreclosed us from any opportunity of voting on minimum wage or on the gas tax repeal legislation. I want to say. quite frankly. I understand the position which has been taken by the majority leader where he says. "Well. if the majority wants to vote. why shouldnt the majority vote?" The problem is the minority happens to be the majority with regard to minimum wage.
