I ask that everyone be patient. I am trying to be as patient as I can be, as is the Republican leader. UNANIMOUS CONSENT AGREEMENT--H.R. 5771

The filibuster is nondemocratic. It has been used to the disarray of the Congress. And, certainly, it hasn’t been anything that has helped -- been helpful to the American people. It’s got to go.
McConnell is facing reality, and it bothers him a lot. The filibuster is on its way out. It’s not a question if. It’s a question of when it goes away.
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 country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
