Harry Reid: “If there were ever a Senatorial odd couple, it is Boxer-Inhofe. But this odd couple has done some tremendous work…”

On the recordMay 16, 2007
If there were ever a Senatorial odd couple, it is Boxer-Inhofe. But this odd couple has done some tremendous work legislatively. This bill is long in the making. They have worked extremely hard, through some very difficult negotiations. I am sorry Mr. Inhofe is not here, but it is a wonderful piece of work, and they both should be very proud of their accomplishments. We are going to get this bill to conference as quickly as we can, and I am confident they will be able to work this out very quickly. This is a remarkably good piece of legislation. The public should know even odd couples in the Senate can do great things.

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.
