I appreciate the Republican leader for taking credit for passage of bills they filibustered. He led the filibusters on these the last 4 years. It is unfortunate, but any one of those, with rare exception, would have been passed had we not had filibusters by the Republicans--the SGRs, and we could go through the whole list. But I appreciate we are doing some things that are important because we are not filibustering. Remember, every one that we tried to do was stopped dead in its tracks and, as a result of that, we had to file hundreds of motions to invoke cloture. So my friend the Republican leader should be very happy we are not doing the same thing to him that was done to us. ____________________
