I assume you can get transcript from CSPAN, or from Ted's office...at least the list.

3. I just called his office. They are VERY BUSY right now!!

I can't imagine why.............

Anyway, I'm going to try to track this down. The way he went down the list of ALL THE SENATE RULES that would be broken was compelling.
