"Great courage to wait til all members have already spoken and to then wrap yourself around procedure.
.... 'we want amendments, we want debate, but we're still a no.'
oh, 'if we had a different process we'd vote yes.'
You vote Yes if you believe Yes. You vote in favor of something if you believe it's the right thing.
If you believe it's the wrong thing, you vote no. We are following procedure.... "
"Will the gentleman yield?"
"I will not yield and the gentleman will observe regular order. He gets up and yells and tries to intimidate people and he is wrong. He is wrong. He is providing cover for his colleagues rather than doing the right thing. It's Republicans wrapping their arms around Republicans rather than doing the right thing for the heroes.
It is a shame. It is a shame. If you believe it is a bad idea to provide health care, then vote no. But don't give me the cowardly view that 'if there was a different procedure...' the gentleman will observe regular order and sit down, I will not, the gentleman will sit, the gentleman is correct in sitting.
I will not stand here and listen to my colleagues and 'if only I had a different procedure that allows us to stall, stall, stall, and then vote no,' instead of standing up and defending your colleagues and then voting no on this humane bill, you should urge them to VOTE YES, something the gentleman HAS NOT DONE.

The 9/11 First Responders bill subsequently passed the Senate by Dec 22, and was signed into law Jan 2, 2011.
There was no public signing ceremony for the bill.
From the Huffpo, 1/2/11, "the bill will be paid for with a fee on some foreign companies that get U.S. government procurement contracts."
"At long last, the President's signature has ended our nine-year struggle to address the 9/11 health crisis. The Zadroga law will save lives and fulfills our moral obligation to care for those who rose to the defense of America in a time of war," said Rep. Carolyn Maloney, D-N.Y.
