We were left then with 1 week. not 2. We have lost time that could have been spent debating and adopting amendments when some Republicans withheld consent from utilizing our usual procedures over the last days. When the false and partisan charges of obstruction came from the other side. the Democratic leader filed a petition for cloture that I hope will bring successful action on a comprehensive. realistic and fair immigration bill. So I regret that now. when we have a bill with strong bipartisan support. some would try to make this into a partisan fight. I fear that they have succeeded in making a partisan fight over a bill that began as a bipartisan bill.
