This Administration performed something--that I thought was absolutely egregious and outrageous, and the only way I could demonstrate my concern about that was to put a hold on a nomination.

It may very well be that the solution to the problems that we talk about as a dysfunctional Senate lies somewhere other than amending the filibuster rule.

I think they are basically irrelevant.
