Harry Reid: “I have a couple unanimous consent requests. I would also say this…”

On the recordJuly 31, 2013

I have a couple unanimous consent requests. I would also say this: This is an important debate, and I ask unanimous consent that--on the floor now we have Corker, we have McCain and Graham--I ask unanimous consent that if they use more than the allotted time here they be allowed to use that, and whatever time goes over that allotted time we have in the existing order would also be given to Senator Paul. The ACTING PRESIDENT pro tempore. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. Unanimous Consent Agreement--Executive Calendar

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

I didn't make it in life because of my athletic prowess. I didn't make it because of my good looks. I didn't make it because I'm a genius. I made it because I worked hard.

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.
