Following my remarks, the time until 5:30 p.m. will be equally divided and controlled. At 5:30 there will be a rollcall vote, with a live quorum requested. Senators should be advised that may not be the only vote today. We may have to have some more votes before we start our joint caucus, which is scheduled for 6 o'clock. I hope there will only be the need for one vote--we should know at 5:30 or thereabouts--but we could have several votes. I look forward to the joint caucus. ____________________

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.
