fed up with a Republican colleague’s efforts to block the

said. “I think it’s hard to answer to the men and women in
the military with this kind of behavior, but I will leave that
up to the senator from Kentucky to do so.”
“Much to my dismay,” McCain said of Paul’s objection, “it
lends some credence to the argument that maybe we
ought not to do business the way that we are doing here
in the United States Senate.”....
