But instead of allowing that kind of bipartisan discussion, leader mcconnell is plowing ahead with the partisan business as usual on a bill that falls very short of what the senate ought to accomplish. I see my friend, senator scott, the distinguished senator from south carolina, on the floor. I want to make it clear that i have Great Respect for senator scott.

Just think about the big things we have been able to get done in the pa
