Mr. President, there is no doubt that the election we have just been through was a bad one. Emotions ran high on both sides and are still running. But this is hardly the first time it has happened in our history, and it won't be the last…

I, personally, thank the chairman for considering this important bill, and I thank Representative Schakowsky for being willing to pursue policies such as this and get them signed into statute. That is the only way we can really be assured…

I intend to support the nominee of our party and if anything should change that, I'll let you know.

Mr. President, I rise today to ask my colleagues to honor the life of Trickett Wendler, pictured here, who was a young mother of three who fought and lost her battle with ALS disease, and the lives of so many others who want the right to…

Mr. President, this is beyond disappointing that the minority leader would refer to this as potentially a partisan bill. Let me reiterate. In 32 States, where 4,186 State legislators have voted on this, 4,078 have voted yes, Republicans…

Mr. President, I thank the Senator from Wyoming for his leadership on this issue. I want to also point out how bad I feel and how sad it truly is because some of those individuals I spoke of--some of those patients and families--were…

Mr. President, first, I want to start by thanking my colleagues here today, particularly Chairman Enzi, who leads the Budget Committee, as well as Senator Perdue for not only being the only freshman who serves on the Budget Committee but…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of Calendar No. 446, S. 2555. I further ask that the Thune amendment be agreed to; that the committee- reported substitute amendment, as amended…

Mr. President, I am disappointed that the minority has again chosen to put partisan politics ahead of passing noncontroversial, bipartisan, pro-growth legislation. My understanding is that their sole objection to passing the MOBILE NOW Act…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent to be able to complete my remarks with respect to this subject. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered.

The land under it, certainly.

I actually do believe a permanent right to be there, if we have no sunset ability, we have created a permanent property right in public resources.

I say no. I think we have reached a reasonable compromise.

Absolutely. Absolutely took it to help win World War II. There's no question about that.

I think the floating homes, for a reasonable period, is good, but I think if you say they can never be sunset; that this is a perpetual right, that is creating personal property interest in public resources.

Certainly, yes.
