On the recordJanuary 25, 2000
If I could through you to the majority leader indicate that certainly the right decision was made today. I think we have become kind of spoiled back here in Washington; we have had such mild winters. If we reflect back on the days of our service in the House, which was not too long ago, I say to the majority leader, it seems to me we used to have bad weather and we had to make preparations for snow days. I remember the Reagan inaugurations; those were bitter cold events about this time of year. So the right decision was made. I look forward to working with the leader and the majority in moving legislation along. We have made great progress on the bankruptcy bill, and I look forward to completing that in the near future.

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.
