Following my remarks and those of the Republican leader, the Senate will be in a period of morning business until 10:30 a.m. this morning. At 10:30 a.m., the Senate will proceed to two rollcall votes on the Lodge and Walter nominations. If cloture is invoked on either nomination, a confirmation vote will occur at 6 p.m. this evening. The Senate will recess from 1 p.m. to 2 p.m. to allow for the weekly caucus luncheons. ____________________

More from Harry Reid
He has no regrets. He says he had to do it to save Obama’s presidency because of what the Republicans were doing to obstruct the president’s confirmation of judges and other legislative things.
Let ‘em do it. Why in the world would we care? We were trying to protect everybody.
Get rid of the filibuster, is nothing that as Brock Obama said, at John Lewis` funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of the slave owners. You got to get rid of it. It’s very, very bad.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
