Back to Correcting Akaka
No speech given today
On Monday May 8, Senator Lamar Alexander gave a speech urging his colleagues to oppose the Akaka bill, citing the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights report as a good reason for opposing it.
On Monday, May 8 Senator Akaka responded to Senator Alexander's speech.
Senator Akaka promised to give a speech every day the Senate is in session to explain why his bill should be passed.
But today, May 15, Senator Akaka failed to give such a speech. There was plenty of time with quorum calls when nobody was using the Senate floor. Perhaps Senator Akaka is out of ideas, or has finally been mollified by the promise of a cloture vote after the Memorial Day recess.
If Senator Akaka speaks on the issue again, we will provide more fact checking for the general public.
