Harry Reid: “I ask for the yeas and nays on that amendment. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There appears to be…”

I have to win 50 plus one.

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.

The Senate is a place to kill things. It isn’t a place that you look to get things done.

With the deepest regret, I now see that I was wrong.
