It really is the worst possible time to be conducting a filibuster. They're forcing us to wait until tomorrow morning at -- let's see, today's still Friday -- until Sunday morning at 1:00 a.m. to have this vote. Our economy hangs on the balance. And for the first time in the history of our country, unless there is a compromise or they accept my bill, we're headed for economic disaster.
Harry Reid criticizes the timing of the filibuster and emphasizes the urgency of reaching a compromise to avoid economic disaster.

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.
Never in the history of the country, never in the history of the country have we produced more for a president and somebody that’s led his party than we’ve done together.
