Madam President, this is a very important week for Americans with disabilities. Just a few hours ago, at the White House, the President signed the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act which includes a reauthorization of the…

It is my hope that this hearing shines a brighter light on these issues and helps inform our work on legislation to try to restore justice for our Nation's coal miners.

I thank Senator Isakson for being a good partner in helping to try to change some of the ways we do business with regard to coal miners.

Average Americans and companies that remain in America are rightfully outraged when companies leave the United States, leaving the rest of us to foot the bill.

In 2004, when I was chairman, I was successful in enacting for the first time reforms that established rules governing inversions.

Mr. Speaker, I want to thank the gentleman from Arizona for that outstanding transition that he made here. I actually came down to chide him just a little bit. I was listening very closely to what he had to say, and it was very valuable…

Mr. President, later we will be voting on a judge for the Eastern District of Missouri. I come to the Senate floor today to explain why, regrettably, I am unable to support the nominee. As my colleagues know, Justice Ronnie White was…

This bill is a weak political opportunity before the midterm elections.

I wish to ask my colleagues as well as myself to think about how many times we have made pessimistic-sounding statements about America's future. I want to remind my colleagues and myself about what I see as excessive pessimism about our…

Madam President, I want to speak to my colleagues on another issue as well, and that is something that came out of our Judiciary Committee a long time ago and is still on the calendar but probably will be brought to the Senate floor. A few…
