Sen. Cruz & Sen. Durbin Verbally Spar Again: ‘Are You Denying Consent?’
This is a modal window.
EXCERPT:
CRUZ: "10 senators on this committee are asking the chairman to provide those reports so we can do what Judge Jackson just said, (crosstalk) which is to assess those reports."
LEAHY: "Mr. Chairman, I know the junior senator from Texas — I used to get on television, but most of us have been here a long time trying to follow the rules. And he can very easily hand you the letter to go into the record. He's saying he is doing this to help Senator Hawley. Senator Hawley could have put it in and he didn't. Let's get back to regular order."
CRUZ: "Senator Hawley didn't write the letter. Mr. Chairman, I ask unanimous consent that it be admitted to the record."
DURBIN: "Senator Hirono."
HIRONO: "Thank you."
DURBIN: "Are you denying consent?"
