I have a second-degree amendment at the desk. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The clerk will report. The assistant legislative clerk read as follows: The Senator from Nevada [Mr. Reid] proposes an amendment numbered 2472 to amendment No. 2471. The amendment is as follows: In the amendment, strike ``5 days'' and insert ``4 days''. Motion to Recommit With Amendment No. 2473

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.
The Senate is a place to kill things. It isn’t a place that you look to get things 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.
I believe in a strong two party system, that`s been the strength of our country for generations.
