Harry Reid: “I ask for the yeas and nays on that motion. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there a sufficient second? There is a sufficient…”

The Senate is a place to kill things. It isn’t a place that you look to get things done.

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