I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 10 a.m., Thursday, June 24; that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to…

my State proudly calls itself the Land of Steady Habits. Some people in Connecticut think it is kind of a funny thing to be proud of--being resistant to change--but honestly, in the Northeast, in the crucible of America, we know there is…
