Harry Reid: “If I could, I want to say on the record here I badly wanted to go to a reception held tonight right across the hall…”

On the recordOctober 15, 2003
If I could, I want to say on the record here I badly wanted to go to a reception held tonight right across the hall, sponsored by the acting minority leader, Senator Baucus, and Congressman Rehberg, because they were going to, at that time, release the biography of one of my favorite Senators of all time, Senator Mansfield. I apologize to the delegation from Montana for being unable to be there, but we were here on the floor. I do hope the book is a success. If the author of that biography is able to capture even a little bit of the history of this great man, it will be a wonderful book to read, and I am sorry I missed it.

The filibuster is going away. It is nothing that helps the country. It doesn’t help states. It doesn’t help individuals. It is on its way out. It’s a question of when it goes.

You cannot have a democracy that record 60 percent of the vote on everything. And that’s what the Republicans have done. They have made a mockery of what the Senate should be.
