Political Quotes

“Mr. President, following leader remarks there will be a period for morning business until 5:15 today with Senators allowed during that period of time to talk for up to 10 minutes each. At that time, the Senate will turn to the Executive Calendar and debate until 6 o'clock. We will turn to executive session with debate until 6 p.m. equally divided and controlled between Senators Leahy and Sessions or their designees. At 6 p.m. the Senate will proceed to vote on the confirmation of Mark Goldsmith from Michigan, Marc Treadwell of Georgia, and Josephine Tucker of California, all to be district court judges. This week the Senate could resume consideration of the tax extenders legislation or turn to FAA reauthorization, first responders collective bargaining, small business jobs bills or, if they are available, conference reports on the Wall Street reform, Iran sanctions, or the emergency supplemental appropriations bill. ____________________”
