We should be here doing our job making sure we are supporting them by passing this critical legislation. There are some legitimate amendments related to the underlying bill that we have debated at length. but there are also a lot of amendments that are unrelated to the underlying bill. Switching gears and moving to hate crimes legislation or to restart the immigration debate on the Defense authorization bill. in my view. would be a mistake. It would demonstrate a lack of leadership and a lack of good judgment on our part when we have men and women in the field who are fighting every single day. We need to make sure we get them a Defense authorization bill that gives them the pay raise they deserve. that addresses the equipment needs they have. that deals with the Wounded Warrior legislation. and that cares for our veterans when they come back from that conflict.
