on Monday there will be a series of rollcall votes starting at 5:30 in the evening. Those votes will be on confirmation of the Patterson nomination to be Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, cloture on the Johnson nomination to be Secretary of Homeland Security, confirmation of the Johnson nomination, and potentially additional procedural votes. ____________________

More from Harry Reid
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.
The Republican Party that we now have is not the Republican Party of John Chafee, Mark Hatfield, those people who were really stalwarts in moving the country forward.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
if we have the political will, we have the opportunity to improve the lives of millions of families today and build a stronger, better and more prosperous country for generations to come.
