once again, run leaders did nothing -- republican leaders did nothing to responsibly address the antimuslimhate from their party. now because of their inaction, they sow -- they're reaping trump's candidate, a candidate that starts with a muslim hate speech and wants to block all muslims from entering the country. the third force, republican party's antilatino, anti-immigrant underbelly is the most salient example of how runs run fear and resentment politics and a define inning official donald trump. the republican establishment allowed decades and decade of antilatino rhetoric to fester within its ranks. republican leaders looked down approvingly like extremists like steve king used repugnant lange against lat teach knows, such as dreamers, or drug mules. republican leaders said nothing has mitt romney urged the policy of self-deportation, as jeb bush spoke to anchor babies and marco rubio called for deporting dreamers. now republican leaders say nothing has donald trump and ted russ say they want to round upped and deport minimums of mentales with a massive deportation force. together wit

i can name many strong leaders, i could name many weak leaders. but he is a strong leader. i don't say that as a good way or bad way. i say it as a fact.

leaders can be replaced. however, these leaders have been around for a long time. they are senior.hey are experienced, and so eliminating them is an important objective and achieves an important result. but they will be replaced and we'll continue to go after their leadership and other aspects of their capabilities. i would say it's necessary. it's not sufficient, but it's important. >> reporter: the marines this week in their support of the iraqi offensive operation, is this something we will see more of do you think, as time goes on in the fight to get to mosul? and is -- can you talk about the accelerants that the secretary has talked about before, and whether this is a key part of what you want to see the military do more of in iraq? >> sure, we have talked about setting thes for success in mosul, and facilitating the iraqi forces and staging arrange mosul. and that has begin. these marines that were there were in direct support of that. we put the battery there to support the americans that are there, advising the iraqi forces, and also in a position to provide support to the

the presiding officer: the majority leader. mr. mcconnell: mr. president, the current senate democratic leader once stated that -- quote -- "nowhere in the constitution does it say the senate has a duty to give presidential nominees a vote." the incoming senate democratic leader, the one we'll have next year, should not even wait until the final year of the last president's term to declare that the senate should not confirm a supreme court nominee except in extraordinary circumstances. and we all know what vice president biden said when he chaired the judiciary committee. here's what he said: "it would be our pragmatic conclusion" he said "that once a political season is underway -- and it is -- action on a supreme court nomination must be put off until after the election campaign is over." that's the essence, mr. president, of the biden rule. yesterday the chairman of the judiciary committee and i personally reiterated to president obama that we will observe the biden rule. the american people deserve to be heard on this matter. that's the faire

as of today the chairman's authority to the public leader. the chairman has turned a partial reputation into an extension of the trump campaign. just last month chairman grassley spoke at a rally for donald trump in iowa. at that rally the chairman said and i quote, we have had this trend going this way, away from the basic principles of our government so we have an opportunity once again to make america great again. before eight" remember what he said we have had this trend going away from the basic principles that have established our government. the senator from iowa would do well to look at his own committee as it turns away again from the basic principles that establish our government. that is what the senator from iowa said at a trump rally. even now he and his committee are wasting millions of taxpayer dollars. it's been going on for many months, including asking for maternity leave, records for staffers, and timesheets in her office. just basic staff people. for months senator grassley, even career officers who are here so we could gi

the macedonian president had strong words for you leaders -- for eu leaders. this comes as the french and german leaders met today in paris ahead of next week's eu summit. european leaders are united on syria, the image, at least, that francois hollande and angela merkel were hoping to send as they met in paris. the talks began with a conference call with british prime minister david cameron, a time for prime minister renzi, and russian president vladimir putin. lande: this conversation was useful. it helped us to remind folks that the cease-fire must be adhered to everywhere. the only actions that can be tolerated are those in the fight against islamic state group and al nusra. the 2 leaders urged refugees to seek asylum first with a serious neighbors, turkey, jordan, and lebanon. the german chancellor said her priority is to protect europe's external borders and convincing turkey to dissuade migrants from making the perilous trip across degrees. merkel: it is in turkey's interested to find a solution to the syrian crisis so it will not have to welcome more r

the presiding officer: the democratic leader. mr. reid: there was a day when that's all we did, but not so anymore. madam president, history won't forget this misstep by grassley, it says. "history won't forget this misstep by grassley." "the hawkeye" burlington, iowa, the oldest newspaper in the state in iowa. an editorial in iowa's oldest newspaper, as i indicated, "the burlington hawkeye." the misstep is an unprecedented decision by the senior senator from iowa and the republican leader to deny the president to fill the current supreme court vacancy. the editorial ends with this declaration -- and i quote -- "a few weeks back when the longest tenured senator from iowa passed a vote we lauded his service to us. we noted in casting votes on matters before the senate, he was doing what iowans elected him to do. we gave grassley an atta boy for that. we take it back. we take it back. that's a blistering statement. a revealing statement, a substantive statement. we take it back. there's a lesson that senator grassley and my republican

sadly, leaders chose an opposite path. instead of cooperating on, and since solutions, republican leaders chose obstruction. the night of president obama's first migration, a group of metressman and strategists to plot a strategy. they decided first to do everything they could to prevent president obama from being reelected, and second, from achieving any of his policy priorities. this is the line. the economic hardships that americans face could not be faced. again and again, they said that they would oppose any policy, simply because it came from president obama. the supreme court overwhelmingly needs someone, and the senate, with a large vote, appointed the d.c.proved him to circuit. .hey did it in 1997 at that time, 32 republicans voted to confirm him. said.s what senator hatch garland -- merrick garland very well, and he is supported by all sides." republicans are slamming the door on a good man, simply because president obama nominated him. that is how they treated him over the entire presidency. they have done it fo

-- the republican leader, the majority leader may offer a motion to table in regards to that motion. so i would just urge my colleagues to understand the next vote will be whether we will take up or not the resolution of disapproval. senator corker and i both urge our colleagues that this resolution not be approved, not be taken up, that we allow the sale to go forward but we maintain our leverage, as senator corker has explained, because there are many more issues that are involved before this sale becomes completed. the reason why the f-16's are being recommended is, quite frankly, pakistan needs the f-16's for their fight against counterinsurgency. i think all my colleagues are aware of the mountainous terrain territory that is in pakistan on the afghanistan border and which pakistan needs an air force capacity to deal with that counterinsurgency. it's in our military's judgment that these f-16's are important in regards to that fight against counterinsurgency, that it's in our interests, u.s. interests, it's in the regional interests, including the civility of its neighbors, indi

the french and german leaders today and the european leaders and turkey will abide by when they meet on monday and those two principles are as follows syrian refugees he said should be kept as close as they possibly can to their home country and that means refugee camps in turkey, in lebanon, not allowing the refugees if you like to make this transit across europe to germany and to western europe. the second principle was that when people do arrive at the borders of the european union there needs to be a mechanism in place to establish what their status is, where they are from, who they are and that was necessary for border security so there was acknowledgment there the eu border security force needs to have more resources put into it and skipping forward to what angela merkel the german chancellor said humanitarian law must improve and unilateral decisions simply do not work and needs to be a comprehensive solution, accepting some refugees is not, sorry, continuing to accept refugees at infitinum is simply not a sustainable solution to the over all situation. she said the refugee nu

the democratic leader this morning. and i want to say he was critical of a story that included my name and the word "pinata" included in the story, suggesting this was somehow a threat. i would be surprised if any person who actually aspired to be on the united states supreme court, a current judge or a legal scholar or lawyer, would allow themselves to be used by this administration in making a nomination to the supreme court for a seat that will not be filled during the remainder of president obama's term. knowing that they won't be confirmed and there's no guarantee that even if a member of the same political party as the president is elected president next year. there's no guarantee that that same person will be renominated. so i likened the nomination process and confirmation process to a pinata, which is only to say that the confirmation process around here has gotten pretty tough. but i'm not going to be preached to by the democratic leader or by democrats who have been responsible for filibustering judges, creat

when all finally did meet with president obama on tuesday, the republican leader, the democratic leader, chairman of the judiciary committee and the ranking member of the judiciary committee. at that meeting, the chairman wouldn't commit to meeting the nominee even then. holding hearings, he wouldn't do that. he wouldn't give the nominee a vote, as we told the president. this is not what senator grassley advocated before his party assumed the majority. in january, 2015, the senator from iowa came to the senate floor and said, and i quote -- "we must get back to what we call in the senate regular order i would say do things the way madison intended." close quote. so everything the chairman has done since assuming the role would counter what madison has intended and obviously what the senior senator from iowa had intended. allowing 11 republican judiciary committeemen -- and they are all men -- to decide on behalf of 100 senators and 300 million americans that they will not even meet, hold a hearing or a vote on the supreme court nominee is certainly not regular order. it's about as irreg
