I've already answered that. I don't mind answering Yasmin's question.
I said that I can't give an answer today on whether or not we would want to have a vote on Tuesday. I certainly don't see the need for another filibuster, but that's why I'm saying we should go back and do a consult.
I've engaged in a filibuster a number of times. Those of you who may have served with me on committees know that, but each time I've engaged in such an action, as I've done today, I've told the committee right at the outset what my plans were. I'm not trying to be too cute by half. I've seen many filibusters in which the member who was engaging in the filibuster tried to convince his or her opposition colleagues that it really wasn't a filibuster and that they were doing this in all earnestness and sincerity. Come on.
I told you at the outset that I was going to talk this out, and I am. All I'm asking for is some consideration to allow our party, the government, to go back and determine how we want to proceed next with this.
I will give you one guarantee. Whatever our decision is at the next meeting, I will share that with you. If the decision is that we choose to filibuster this until the end of the year, I'll tell you that. I don't sense that happening, but I'll be up front with you. That's the best guarantee I can give you. How can you ask me to give you an answer before we've had an opportunity to consult? It's unreasonable to even suggest that.
