Mr. President, can you tell me how much time is remaining on this side? The PRESIDING OFFICER. Fifteen minutes.

We yield back. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The question is, Will the Senate advise and consent to the nomination of Lorna G. Schofield, of New York, to be U.S. District Judge for the Southern District of New York?
Dec 13, 2012
If the Senator would yield for one last question, my understanding is that the fiscal cliff is going to be caused by the expiring provisions of various tax provisions that have been in place for 12 years, the so-called Bush tax cuts that…
Dec 13, 2012
I am a little confused. I do not know whether the distinguished majority whip is talking about the expiring tax provisions on December 31 as being manufactured or a bipartisan agreement or--what part of this did we have a chance to vote on…

Mr. President, I would say in response to the Senator from Kentucky that I have been in the Senate for some time now. I have been engaged in the immigration debates for a long time. I think one of the biggest challenges is we have tried to…

Mr. President, this last week the House of Representatives passed a bipartisan piece of legislation called the STEM Jobs Act. For those who are unfamiliar with the term STEM, it stands for science, technology, engineering, and math--the…

Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent the next 45 minutes be devoted to a colloquy between myself and my colleagues on this side of the aisle. The PRESIDING OFFICER. Without objection, it is so ordered. ____________________
Dec 5, 2012
Mr. President, I think the record should be clear that our side of the aisle believes we should act today and not wait and not delay further this important STEM Jobs Act for the very reason I said earlier, which is that it will help job…
