just to show that we are trying to work with the President's Chief of Staff, as I indicated earlier, we put this in. Even though it wasn't part of the original agreement I had with Mr. Bolten, we added Doug Shuma, Commissioner of the Internal Revenue Service--I am looking for Mr. Sullivan--and John J. Sullivan, Deputy Secretary of Commerce. So we have worked hard to live up to our end of the bargain. I hope when we come back after the break, we can do more. I have indicated to the distinguished Republican leader and to Mr. Bolton, if things work out right and we are able to work together, there should be some judges we can approve when we come back.

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.
As a result of that, Barack Obama will go down as having the most successful Congress in the history of the country. Barack Obama changed the world.
