After I read the speech I went over to http://www.c-span.org/ to listen to it via RealPlayer. Two things I noticed; he did not read it, and Kennedy got up and left during the 10 minute speech. Leahy had approached Kennedy, probably to make sure he had his proxy vote correct. I'm going back to see what my guy, Jeff Sessions, had to say.
Sen. Sessions also gave emotional and compelling remarks that he did not read.
