On the recordMay 15, 2012
I want to express my appreciation for the good work done on this most important measure that just passed the Senate on the Export-Import Bank. It was reported out of the Banking Committee. Senator Johnson did a great job with his committee. In addition to that, the work of Senator Cantwell was exemplary. She is a terrific legislator. When she gets her teeth in something, she won't let go and she would not let us take our eye off the prize; that is, passing this important legislation. I have such admiration for her legislative skills, and at this time I spread across the Record my admiration and congratulations on this legislation, which means so much to her and the entire country. ____________________

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.

I have been for statehood for D.C. forever. And how can we, as a country, have the federal enclave treated differently than the other 50 states? It’s not -- it’s not right.

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.
