Just to be clear, we're now debating whether testimony or thoughts that were given by another committee member were actually relevant or valuable.
What in the world does this have to do with the amendment? Can somebody...?
I understand what's going on. I'll tell you, frankly, that it is within the chair's right to relinquish the chair and to provide his opinion should he wish to do that. I have never seen it done, but that is what we saw this morning. We appreciated it. I encourage the chair to provide that.
In fact, if the chair would like to do a significant amount of work and provide that to you so that you would have more information, so that you can make your decisions in the future, I think that's fantastic. But as I said, I think the way your party is acting this morning is contemptuous to the members who have brought these motions in good faith, and we should vote.
