Debating the La Follette challenge to unanimous consent
In Washington March 24 Senator La Follette denounced unanimous consent as a weapon to rush the Aldrich financial bill. He warned he would not consent to limiting debate on major measures, citing the rail and trust power as proof of concentrated influence led by Morgan Rockefeller and others. The exchange followed Aldrich's plan to push the bill to a vote, with Bet by Teller and others on debate limits and power dynamics.
