Harry Reid said "Madam President, I would like to tell the Senate what the schedule is going to be, but we can't do that unless we are able to hear each other. The Republican leader and I had a conversation this morning, and here is how we are going to move forward. We are obligated to complete an impeachment that Democrats and Republicans who were appointed to a committee worked very hard on, spending days and days on their own away from all the cameras, doing the tedious work that has to be done. We have tried to find a place to do this that would be convenient, and there is no place. So we are going to start Tuesday morning the impeachment of a judge. I will file cloture on a number of measures on Monday night for a Wednesday cloture vote. Mr. McCONNELL. Will the leader yield on the question of the impeachment?" @ PoliticalQuotes.com
