"We have had the rug pulled out from under us by the President of the United States," he said. "I never thought Jimmy Carter would lie."
At Byrd's request, Mondale ruled out of order more than 30 of the filibusterers' more than 200 remanding amendments, one by one. The nominees of both parties stopped the process.
