Ron Wyden Democrat
“I object to the proposal from the senator from Texas. Our plan has support from both Democrats and Republicans, but his does not. I hope he will work with us to fix this.”
“I object to the Cruz request, and I want to take note of the floor right now because our proposal has bipartisan support on the floor this morning. In other words, talking about who has been trying to bring people together and the like, our proposal on this floor--the Senator from Florida, the Senator from California, the Senator from Oregon--is a bipartisan proposal. The Senator from Texas is not on the floor with bipartisan support. I hope he will work with us over the course of the morning to get this worked out. That is why I object to the Cruz proposal, and I object again.”
