On January 5, 1995, Sen. Tom Harkin (D-IA) said:
I may not agree with everything that Republicans are proposing, but they are in the majority and they ought to have the right to have us vote on the merits of what they propose….But, I do not believe that I as a member of
the minority ought to have the right to absolutely stop something because I
think it is wrong, that that is rule by minority.
