I would remind Mr. Reid that we have already had this debate and voted on this matter. He is entirely within his rights to try again, but we shouldn't debate the same issues. My goal is to move matters forward, not to get further bogged down. If we're going to get into a lengthy debate, then I am prepared to withdraw my motion, if there is unanimous consent, and we'll have another debate. However, I would ask Mr. Reid to consider the fact that we have already debated this matter and that a majority, democratic vote was taken.
