I mean, if you go back to 1960 on major pieces of legislation, the filibuster was used about eight percent of the time.

I have served in the Congress during two wars and I have seen the impacts on our military, on their families and on our national deficit.

It used to be in the Senate that if you were filibustering, you stood up, there was a physical dimension to it, that you when you became exhausted, you'd have to leave the floor. That was the idea of the filibuster.

The Senate as an institution is broken. We're not doing the work of the American people and the rules are being abused. The only way to get us back to the traditions where the Senate is doing the work of the American people is to change the rules.

A majority of senators should be able to adopt rules at the beginning of each Congress.

With existing technology, we can enforce airport security without sacrificing our personal privacy.

Man is now in charge of the thermostat for the globe.
