Today I filed cloture on the Reid amendment on the underlying Transportation bill. The cloture vote on that amendment will occur at noon on Tuesday. We will continue to work on a path to get this bill done. The quickest way to get it done would be to invoke cloture. As a reminder, at 2:15 p.m. on Tuesday there will be two votes on the confirmation of the Phillips and Rice nominations. ____________________

Get rid of the filibuster. It`s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis` funeral, it`s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It`s very bad.
Let ‘em do it. Why in the world would we care? We were trying to protect everybody.
The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
Get rid of the filibuster, is nothing that as Brock Obama said, at John Lewis` funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of the slave owners. You got to get rid of it. It’s very, very bad.
