following leader remarks, the Senate will debate the motions to proceed to S. 1769 and S. 1786. One is a Democratic-sponsored infrastructure bill, and the other is a Republican-sponsored bill. The time until 3 p.m. will be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees. At about 3 p.m., there will be up to two rollcall votes. The first vote will be on a motion to proceed to S. 1769, the Rebuild America Jobs Act. If that is not successful, there will be a second vote on the motion to proceed to S. 1786. Both motions will require 60 votes. We also expect to vote on a number of judicial nominations today. ____________________

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.

if some rule of the Senate stands in the way of getting that, making sure that every American has the right to vote and the vote counted, then we got to change that rule.

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 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.
