So did they get the additional time? They should not have. That's ridiculous.

Yes. They allowed additional time for Schumer. He had 5 mins left, and asked for an additional 4. They'll try to paint the Republicans as unfair if they don't. Schumer ended up finishing early and conceeded his time to the Senator from Alabama for being so generous.

I think it was a test. To see if the Republicans would allow extra time even though Frist & Reid had agreed no one would ask for extra time.
