“There is a limitation on debate, which is unlike other bills, for 20 hours, but there is no limitation on amendments. In other words, Republicans if they wanted to, and I suspect they do, could offer literally thousands of amendments and keep Senate in session for weeks and months.” IfsWantedHoursWeekMonthsRepublicanOffersBillsDebateLimitationSuspectsSenateAmendmentsSession Author:Rick Santorum
“I'm a different kind of Republican. I've introduced a five-year balanced budget. I've introduced the largest tax cut in our history.
