I appreciate the courtesy of my friend, the assistant leader. I wish to tell all the Members of the Senate that we will probably have a series of votes around 4 o'clock this afternoon. ____________________

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.
Let ‘em do it. Why in the world would we care? We were trying to protect everybody.
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.
