Speaking order in the Senate is assigned by seniority.

And “I am black,” will not change the Senate rules.I am in a hurry to get home to my dying wife would though.
Speaking order based on seniority. Since Cory Booker has only been a US Senator for 2 years [?] , that would explain why he was last. And, of course, his CBC cronies who backed him up were also therefore late to the podium.
It is like he boy who cries “Wolf”! No one pays much attention to their wailing any more.
