The PRESIDING OFFICER. Is there objection? Without objection, it is so ordered. The Senator from Oregon. ____________________

I believe in a strong two party system, that`s been the strength of our country for generations.
Get rid of the filibuster. It’s nothing. As Barack Obama said at John Lewis’ funeral, it’s part of the leftovers from the days of slave owners. You have got to get rid of it. It’s very bad.
The country is better off having a real democracy, not a fake democracy. Sixty percent is not a democracy.
You cannot have a democracy that record 60 percent of the vote on everything. And that’s what the Republicans have done. They have made a mockery of what the Senate should be.
