Johnny Isakson: “It's a two-way street. These nominees deserve civility, a thorough examination, but expedited treatment.”

I will follow up on the Senator's points. We need to do what we did last year when Republicans and Democrats stayed up here for 2 weeks while the government was shut down. We worked out an immigration agreement, and we got the DACA…

Success now and in the future will require close collaboration between the VA and Congress, a focus on engagement as well as accountability.

I don't want to cut anybody out, but I want to make that point. I yield to Senator Shelby. The PRESIDING OFFICER (Mr. Crapo). The Senator from Alabama.

It's deplorable what he said.
