you re a politician. the 9/11 health bill gets blocked, by a doctor. i want to spend whatever we need to spend to take care of the people who sacrificed for us and put themselves at risk. this bill hasn t even been through a committee. yes, it has. the senate health committee. the one you sit on. and if you think he s got cover, think again. this should not be seen as a democratic or republican issue. shouldn t be seen as a fiscal issue. this is a matter of morality, obligation. next, the vote as republican opposition crumbles. i will vote to ratify the new start treaty between the united states and russia because it leaves our country with enough nuclear warheads to blow any attacker to kingdom come. reporter: still not enough for senators kyle and graham. all of the interruptions and the season have resulted in a situation in which very few members are paying much attention. very few are on the floor really thinking about this. you have had it since april.
