More from Harry Reid
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.
But the purpose of politics that Harry Reid understood very well is to get stuff done.
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.
