Sen. Mike Lee

But you know what?

That's our job.

And thank heavens for those who are grateful for the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the protections that it brought with it.

They should all be very grateful that this didn't wuss out then.

They should be very grateful that they didn't let a few senators say, well, I'm going to vote against cloture.

So don't even try or just force a failed vote.

you know, failure theater, cloture vote at the front end, and then we'll move on.

Thank heavens they didn't do that.

They stuck with it.

They stuck with it for 60 days.

And you know what happened?

It brought people to the table.

It made people think.

It made people realize they were on the wrong side, the losing side of history.

And they ended up negotiating some changes to the bill to save face.

And they got the thing passed.

We have to do the same thing here.

We don't know who the other three other people are, other than those initial three who have identified themselves as against the bill.

I strongly disagree with them, but at least they've got the courage to say what they're doing.

There are others who are under the cover of night for reasons I don't understand and not required to identify themselves.
