This is out of respect for our audience members who are here wanting this bill to go forward and not comprehending what is going on right now. It's a Conservative filibuster to block the clause-by-clause so that this bill can't go forward.
The very organizations and communities you've mentioned are all in the audience looking at you. They're all here. They've left their work, left whatever, to assist this committee and to see this bill move forward. We have officials here who would like to see the clause-by-clause go forward. Please, can we do that? I think this is going nowhere. What you're saying is just circular reasoning.
Can we move forward, please, with clause-by-clause?
Thank you.
