Harry Reid: “The one thing that I will do is work very hard over the next few hours to see if we can have the cloture vote tomorrow…”

On the recordMarch 8, 2006
The one thing that I will do is work very hard over the next few hours to see if we can have the cloture vote tomorrow, sometime tomorrow. I will see if we can get that done. I think it would be to everyone's advantage if we could resolve this part of the situation we have on the floor. I would say that the Leader and I have had many discussions during the day and in the weeks prior to this matter coming to the floor in an effort to move this lobbying reform bill along. I think we can get a lobby reform bill; it is now a question of when we will do that. But in the morning, cooler heads will prevail, and we will see what we can do to move the country along on these things that need to be done. ____________________

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.

The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
