I ask unanimous consent that when the Senate completes its business today, it adjourn until Thursday, April 19, at 9:30 a.m.; that following the prayer and pledge, the Journal of proceedings be approved to date, the morning hour be deemed expired, and the time for the two leaders be reserved for their use later in the day; that the Senate then resume consideration of the motion to proceed to S. 1925, the Violence Against Women Reauthorization Act, and that following the remarks of the two leaders, the next hour be equally divided and controlled between the two leaders or their designees, with the Republicans controlling the first 30 minutes and the majority controlling the second 30 minutes; that the filing deadline for second- degree amendments to the substitute amendment, No. 2000, as modified, and S. 1789 be 11 a.m. on Thursday; and finally, that the cloture votes with respect to the substitute amendment No. 2000, as modified, and S. 1789, the postal reform bill, occur at 2:15 p.m. on Thursday. So there are two cloture votes, one regarding the substitute amendment, No. 2000, and, as I indicated, S. 1789. The PRESIDING OFFICER. 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.

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