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.
