I ask unanimous consent that the Senate proceed to S. Res. 81 submitted earlier today. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. The clerk will report the resolution by title. The legislative clerk read as follows: A resolution (S. Res. 81) commemorating March 19, 2013, as the 40th anniversary of National Ag Day. There being no objection, the Senate proceeded to consider the resolution.

The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
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.
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.
