if there is no further business to come before the Senate, I ask unanimous consent that it stand adjourned under the previous order. There being no objection, the Senate, at 6:54 p.m., adjourned until Friday, May 23, 2014, at 10 a.m. ____________________

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.
I believe in a strong two party system, that`s been the strength of our country for generations.
McConnell is facing reality, and it bothers him a lot. The filibuster is on its way out. It’s not a question if. It’s a question of when it goes away.
He has no regrets. He says he had to do it to save Obama’s presidency because of what the Republicans were doing to obstruct the president’s confirmation of judges and other legislative things.
