I have tried to cooperate. but I believe Members have a right to be heard on a question of whether we are going to war. whether we are going to escalate that war and whether we are going to have ground troops in that war. What we have established so far in the process of the debate in the Committee on Rules yesterday and todays debate is waivers were not granted. When we tried to offer amendments about whether to reach back to previous appropriations bills in order to try to restrict the expansion and escalation of this war. amendments that were proposed to transfer funds that I had to move the war funds. the $3.3 billion to refugee assistance. were ruled out of order. A point of order was made on an amendment that I originally thought was in order to try to move the war money. A point of order was made. and I withdrew the amendment.
