On the recordSeptember 30, 2013
I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until 9:30 Tuesday, October 1, 2013; that following the prayer and pledge, the morning hour be deemed expired, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in day; that at that time, I be recognized; that the Senate recess from 12:30 to 2:15 tomorrow to allow for the weekly caucus meetings. I ask, before this is implemented, that everyone understand that when we receive that message from the House--I hope we will have it in the morning when we come in--I will make a motion to table it as we have done the two other measures in the last few hours. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

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.
