I ask unanimous consent that the period of morning business for debate only be extended until 6 p.m., with Senators permitted to speak for up to 10 minutes each, and that at 6 p.m. I be recognized. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________

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.
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.
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.
