Madam President. a number of us stayed on the floor this evening long after the Senate finished its business on the immigration bill. It is bittersweet to be here after all this effort and time. with so little to show for it. I think the comments made since the decision on the motion to end the debate was voted on have been constructive and positive. 1 join in that spirit. First. I acknowledge we learned an Important lesson about the Senate. a lesson that bears repeating so those who follow these proceedings will understand what happened. The Senate is a different institution. different than most city councils. different than the House of Representatives. where I proudly served for 14 years.
