the rigor and regimen of testing seem to be working for williamsburg collegiate.e is on board with the methods. for more than a decade, schools all across america have emphasized testing over teaching with deeply disappointing results. a whopping 80% of american schools are failing to meet the proficiency goals set up by federal legislation. >> children do learn when standards are high and results are measured. >> when no child left behind legislation was passed in 2001, it mandated certain accountability measures in order for schools to get federal funding. all tied to performance on standardized tests. with funding at stake, some schools took drastic measures to meet these government standards. in march 2013, 35 atlanta educators were indicted for allegedly participating in a standardized test cheating ring. rigorous testing seems to work for williamsburg. so why has it fail for so many other schools across the u.s.? some chicago parents say it's because in their schools testing has become the most critical measure of success. >> would you like to sign a petitio

isn't collegiality sort of the last thing at the root of compromise at this point? >> except when collegiality leads to people in washington persisting and doing things that are bad for the country as a whole. i think we see this with the filibuster. the reason you haven't seen a change in the senate rules, a number of democrats around a long time in the senate have memories of the old days when the senators smoke cigars together and were friendly and wouldn't pass bills over each other's objections but then they wouldn't raise unreasonable objections. i think a recognition of the new realities would be a good thing but that doesn't mean that ted cruz should be the person to bring about that change. >> sam -- i appreciate josh's assessment about adults and children and sort of wiser voices having a role in this debate. but one-quarter of the house republican caucus is signing on to this and i think, given the weakness of speaker boehner -- and you outlined this in your piece -- he would have to break the hastert rule in order to go forward with funding of obama care

but he was also at that time a very collegial leader, who massaged the egos of his fellow apostles and turned their respect. he worked with men whose literary talents far exceeded his own and he got along well with apostles whose evangelistic successes outpaced his. there is no sense that he was threatened by the potential rivals. in short, brigham young at the age of 40 was a man easy to admire and enjoy. and so, how do we get from that young, when some brigham young to the man who browbeat his fellow apostles into affirming his leadership seven years later? the next several years are the crux of the story, really the full prong of brigham young's life. young returned from england to the city of nauvoo in illinois which became the church's new place of gathering. here joseph smith began teaching young the new doctrines and rituals that would make mormonism much more than another idiosyncratic protestant church. smith, toward the end of his life, taught that god who sits enthroned in heaven is a man like unto yourselves. god was an exalted human being and righteous men.

the senate is a place of a certain amount of collegiality and in certain amount of judgment and understanding and respect for the body. sometimes you can carry out a procedure that may be dubious, but well within the realm of acceptable procedures. sometimes you can feel and understand that that is a dangerous alteration of the precedents of the senate. >> we will hear more of the filibuster rules from the heritage foundation this morning. the parliamentarian and senator rand paul will talk about the use of a simple majority in the senate at 12:30 p.m. eastern and c-span. next week, harry reid will talk more about possible changes to a senate filibuster rule. whites live coverage on monday at 10:30 a.m. eastern at the center -- watch live coverage on monday at 2:30 a.m. eastern. senator reid said the actions -- step the senate will hold a recess appointments on a number of president obama's nominees next week. we will hear from senator reid on a possible filibuster changes. they spoke to reporters for 20 minutes. >> ok. we had a good caucus. a couple of people do not like changing the rules.

gerri: tuition inflation, pressure and student pocketboo pocketbooks, not just happening at the collegiateevel, also happening in elementary and high schools all over the country. what you see is downsizing with everybody. they cannot provide health care, what do you say? >> it is just another case obama has delayed it one year, this is something we should get rid of all together and the individual mandate forring people into health care will not make health care more affordable for americans, especially young people. there is also price controls that target young people to pay more to subsidize older americans and that is not fair. we have the highest structural unemployment since the great depression. gerri: i am reading there are fewer people between 25-34 buying houses any time in modern history in this country because they carry a lot of student loan debt. they put off their financial decision-making. i'm going to tell you a story out of the university of florida. a couple of universities cutting the faculty to avoid paying the extra cost. so here we are coming christmas cost of educa

between the attorneys, because the prosecutors want to bring in all of this evidence from zimmerman's collegiate past. going to community college, studying law enforcement and criminal law and want to submit his textbooks and e-mails, because the state contends not only did zimmerman want to be a police officer and had great enthusiasm for a pursuing that but also had great knowledge as far as criminal law and criminal litigation, and prosecutors would contend if they get into this testimony, that perhaps george zimmerman knew exactly how to phrase what he needed to say to police officers in order for the police officers to find the stand your ground law in florida, the state's self-defense law, which allows you to use deadly force if you feel you have a reasonable belief your life is being thanked. not just at your own house or property but anywhere you are in the state of florida. heavily criticized and very controversial in the state. so this will be a big ruling by the judge after she mulls over case law and legal arguments. >> shepard: the judge is going to do that over the course of the ne

i have had many conversations on this and other subjects, always in a completely respectful and collegial way. while we sit here, refugees are saying to john kerry they're dying, assad is winning and they are losing the war while we are safe in our battle stations in washington, d.c. >> but you remember those conversations, andrea. there are those of us, me included, who said we are a year-and-a-half too late. we've been pushing, trying to nudge the administration to make a decision earlier. what happened was the longer it went the more confusing the battlefield came. you can't come in after the fire of the house is going and say, why didn't somebody put it out? the problem is you have to deal with the fire as you find it. so remember, this is important to get this right as to do anything at all. no one today in congress is standing in the way of the administration doing what they have expressed an interest in doing. that isn't happening. however, there were passionate discussions about how you do that. if your intended goal is to change and have a positive influence in syria is what pres

in a collegial environment, such as the fed, when you've not come up within that environment, i question whether or not that's the appropriate environment, not to mention the market reaction to that level of uncertainty. >> it might be pretty positive. i'm not taking a position one way or the other, it's way too soon for that. i'm just interested particularly in larry summers and the dollar because the dollar was really strong during the clinton years. lately the dollar has improved but we haven't seen a strong dollar in 12 years, 15 years. so i just wonder. let us move on. apple beat and earnings are slightly ahead of where eathey are. what's your take, peter costa? >> the stock went up 4%. apple needs to come up with another game-changing product. they keep increasing or improving the products they already have. after a certain point there's no more -- there's nothing more can you bring to the table. they have to bring something new to the table. and i think that tim cook had mentioned something about bringing out something in september and october and bringing out new products in 2014

and there is a sort of collegialness that actually happens, and that happens as a result.he fact that they both have basically raised children in front of the cameras at the white house, and that they've been able to protect them so beautifully, thing are common bonds that happens when someone residence in the white house. it has been built on mutual respect, because it didn't start out that way. >> now they're already running attacks on mrs. clinton. they even formed a stop hillary.org website. so they're gearing up. but i just got this in, that is very interesting to me. we just learned that mrs. clinton and joe biden are having breakfast in the morning. what do you make of that, clarence? >> i'd love to be a fly on the wall there, because joe biden may run for president again too. i think this is probably realistically his last chance if he is going to do it. if i were him, i wouldn't, because i think the momentum now for hillary clinton is building up. >> you wouldn't run or you wouldn't have breakfast? >> i wouldn't run against hillary clinton. i think she has been ab

any think early on the collegiate in that direction. memo those are definitely things we look at consistently to try and understand what might have been going on. we want to look at the man, the machine and the environment and we want to understand what factors may have influenced any issues in any of those areas so we are looking at the airport, the aircraft and we are looking at the performance of the people in the cockpit. >>anny: welcome back. let's check and with erica at the weather center. >>anny: >>erica: we are starting with coastal fog this morning. it is starting to fill up our bay shores but we are still waking up to clear skies and lead. i want to take a look at your temperatures right now. we are in the low sixties in livermore and fairfield. 50 degrees out the door in oakland. turning our attention to where those numbers will go into the afternoon. today will be the warmest day of the week so with that we will see mid- 90s pier 7 day around the bay forecast shows a very subtle minored day-to-day changes. temperatures will

it's a collegial thing.that when 85 billion was announced -- >> we were in shock. a lot of people are in shock. now the idea that you cut out people in shock when they mention it. so we've become, grown accustomed to this. 2% isn't great, obviously, but i just wonder, if we're not on a track to improve and things actually would slow again or you have a swoon, are we just, we're almost on a permanent accommodation on a permanent fed, almost addicted to this? is that not the way i should look at it? >> i think it's true the fed says if things start to turn south, they will provide more accommodation, so that sort of safety net is there. i think the chairman and everybody at fomc wants the economy to be able to do it on its own. whenitative taken the punch bowl away the last couple of times, we had those swoons. so it suggested that maybe the markets and the economy -- >> i don't know if anyone knows. >> oh, for sure. >> there are people that question whether qe has been effective. >> for sure. i was as you kno

talk about your work and trying to push some of the democratic senators who like the collegial way things have run. also fear this notion of being in the minority again and not having any power, although i have always said when you are prayer -- preparing to be in the minority, you are preparing to be defeated, and if you are bold and you take the strength of the majority and do what you are elected to do, that would be kind of cool. [applause] >> radical idea there. >> i know. i know we agree on this, larry, but talk a little bit about your thinking. >> first of all, and the next three weeks are critical as senator merkley just said. this is to show that we can make a difference. this is to show that we can change things. it is not senate resolution five that you wrote with senator udall, it is not on the floor. this is just on nominations, that if we do not get this done, number one, as was already set by senator merkley, on august 27, the only confirmed off, his term is up, at eight. 80 million workers have nothing at all, no floor to work on in terms of their rights. whether it is the

we're quite collegial. we work well together. it's the congress and town that has changed, and that does have some influence on the committee. basically we are very collegial. we work together. trying to figure out how to put the pieces together as opposed to the judiciary committee and abortion and the constitutional issues. >> when you first came to congress, did democrats and republicans talking to more or is that a michigan? >> it's -- is that a myth? >> that's not a myth. we talked more. a room for senators only just off the senate dining room. only senators. no staff, nobody, just the senators. it's a wonderful place to go, just to go see who is going to be in there, and meet other senators that you otherwise wouldn't meet or, more importantly, talk to about their kids and families and legislation. it's empty now. nobody goes there anymore. why? they're going to all that's dog gone parties and lunches, tuesdays, wednesdays, thursdays, we democrats are in a -- have lunch together, saying all those nasty people down the hall,

we are quite collegial, that has not changed much. it is the congress and the town that has changed. that does have some influence on the committee. we have worked together with these numbers to try to figure out how to put these pieces together with the judiciary portioned. >> when he first came to congress, so we have this private room that we have for senators only just off the senators hall. this includes senators kids and families in attempting him. no one goes there now because they are doing other things. what are they doing? they're going to olive garden tuesdays and wednesdays on thursday. they are having lunch together and they are terrible fundraising at noontime, there is a part to it that is symbolic of how we just don't talk about this now you're saying that's not a big deal. [laughter] >> so was the house much more partisan than what you imagine? >> so there is a big difference. but it was not exactly completely bipartisan then. we had proxy voting and we were able to go back and write it how we wanted to. i do think th

harry reid and mitch mcconnell are known for having a fairly collegial relationship so this really challengednt there. i think mitch mcconnell makes the case this kind of reform would really make the senate more like the house. the senate is currently a chamber where the minority has broad discretion and a broad ability to weigh in on issues even if they're seen as obstructionists for doing it. mcconnell has a case to make when he says harry reid shouldn't do this. it would be an historic change for the chamber. >> does that mean, david, if alease is saying it makes it more like the house, a lot more dysfunctional? >> possibly. it's heart -- >> it's hard but let's try. >> harry reid says the congress has lower approval ratings than north korea in this country. that may be rhetoric but at the same time there's this idea nothing is getting done. no matter what side you're on on these debates, immigration, gun control, the budget, it is true things get put off or get nowhere. talking about appointments, this is something the president is asking to be in his cabinet. you know, i'm not sure there

. >> everybody is being so collegial. senator udall would you like to start? vi with -- agree with senator alexander. i do think senator coburn's research is worth considering. i do find it interesting that we have not fully funded lwfc at them 9 million-dollar level. it's been funding based on what the appropriators want to do. i am certainly open to taking a creative look at all of this senator coburn because the parks as you mentioned are america's best idea. there have been and i would like to get the sunday record of some greater depth that there have have been cases for example where lwfc has had a dual or threefold purpose. in colorado which i think maybe you have visited, maybe you and i can join forces and spend some time there on the ground since i know you love colorado and spend a lot of time there. the creation of the national park which was a national monument that we expanded it to a national park help the ranching economy and the ballot because their water supplies were threatened and it's an example of how lwfc was creatively focused on protec

they're suing saying you -- the ncaa ea sports which produces a lot of video games and the collegiateng company which sells the licenses to companies like ea sports and broadcast companies they're saying you conspired to fix our value, you violated antitrust law. we can't get compensation for our likens. this is a problem. they're waiting for a class certification. if it becomes a class action, then every former college athlete could join the case. >> that's a big story. that's something we could spend time on if we had more time. >> bill: i think they have a good agent and a good attorney because they're right. they have to be compensated for that. congratulations, travis. look forward to following you on think progress. thinkprogress.org. thanks for coming into the studio this morning. >> thanks for having me. >> announcer: this is the "bill press show." to the fire. are you encouraged by what you heard the president say the other night? is this personal, or is it political? a lot of my work happens by doing the things that i'm given to doing anyway, by staying in touch with everyth

. >> can you think of anyone with less collegiality than liz cheney. >> stephanie: my friend said shetrong conservative record of fighting for the people of wyoming, and that's why i support him. cynthia loomis. >> mike ensy has really earned his spurs in wyoming, not to mention putting in 18 solid years in the u.s. senate. so i'm a solid supporter and friend of his. >> stephanie: a bit of a bitch slamming for the demon seed thus far. >> yes. >> stephanie: let's go to ann in atlanta. you are on the "stephanie miller show" on the trayvon case. hello ann. hello ann? ann? going once going twice in back to pamela in texas. hey, pam. >> hey stephanie how are you. >> stephanie: good go ahead. >> caller: when people like limbaugh or any white says we can say the n word because black people say it, i want to ask them, so are you saying you want to emulate blacks now? >> stephanie: right. >> caller: the other thing is the judge who excluded those instructions that could have convicted him, this -- i mean she is a judge, his dad was a damage, did anybody think about that? and the last thing is,

and the senate is a place of a certain amount of collegiality and certain amount of good judgment and understanding and respect for the body. and sometimes you can carry out a procedure that may be dubious but within the realm of acceptable procedures. and sometimes you can feel and understand that that is a dangerous alteration of the precedents of the senate. that's where i'm afraid we are with this vote. and i guess we disagree. i would question from senator hatch. the presiding officer: the senator from utah. mr. hatch: there is a difference between -- between issues where the chair has been overruled and the nuclear option, which changes the rules, which, you know, breaks the rule and changes it. that's a significant difference. that's what's being done here by a mere majority vote, the majority wants to change a very, very important rule. and if we go down that road, i've got to tell you, the majority is going to be a very sorry majority in the future because they may be a minority. and i've got to tell you, this body has always protected the rights of the minority, whether it's

about your work in trying to push some of the democratic senators, quite honestly, who like the collegial way things have run, also fear this notion of being in the minority again and not having any power -- although i've always said it's, when you're preparing to be in the minority, you're preparing to be defeated, and if you're bold and you take the strength of the majority and do what you're elected to do, you might stay in the majority. that would be kind of cool. [laughter] [applause] so i know -- >> radical idea there. >> i know i'm a radical. i know we agree on this, larry, but talk about your thinking on this. >> yeah. so first of all, these next three weeks are critical, as senator merkley just said. this is like part one. this is our deposit. this is to show that we can make a difference. this is to show that we can change things. it's not senate resolution 5 that you wrote with senator udall championed that we had, i think, 49 votes for, enough to pass it, but it didn't get on the floor. this is just on nominations. but if we don't get this done, number one, as was already said

al afford to work in of my fellow board members to develop a collegial and productive deliberate process, to learn from their experiences and points of view and to fairly and faithfully enforced the law. thank you for the opportunity to appear before you today. i look forward to your questions >> thank you very much, nancy jean schiffer. we will start around of 5-minute questions. and first of all, i want to again of for the record the tremendous background the both of you bring to this nancy jean schiffer having worked as a regional office so many years ago and ken hirozawa being with the -- mr. pierce for all these years as his counsel. i think it is clear the you both bring a tremendous background and a wealth of information and knowledge to this position on the nlrb. i just have a couple of questions. i will start with nancy jean schiffer. as you pointed out, as the council for the afl-cio, you counseled for their positions. that is what a good lawyer does. so in the past -- and i might make it clear for the record the you and i work together on issues in terms of labor law, specific

the senate is a place of a collegiality of and a certain amount of understanding and respect for the body. there are times when you may carry something out, and sometimes you can feel and understand that that is a dangerous alteration of the precedents of the senate. that is where i am afraid we are with this vote. >> i respect the senator from tennessee. he is my friend. we, woulded together successfully on things, and i hope we will in the future. i take exception. i have been in the senate now my 1th year. i have seen this institution change dramatically in 17 years. we have faced more grid pollack, more wasted time than i ever imagined could occur in this institution. it has become common place for us to face filibuster after filibuster after filibuster. eople would turn on to watch c-span and have to get close to their screens to see if there is life on floor of the senate. we go on for 30 hours at a time doing nothing around here. why? because we are facing a record number of filibusterers from the other side of the aisle. time and again when we have important issues come up, t

in general to try to be cooperative and cliegeyabble precisely because everybody ecognizes the -- collegialrecisely because everybody recognizes the magnitude of it. >> i want to get back to regulatory questions in a moment. i look at the clock and i know our time moves fast. we want to talk a bit about monetary policy and this interest time the fed is in right now. i wonder, first, whether you were surprised by the speed and intensity of market reaction to the chairman's press conference on june 19, particularly in the bond market and reaction to the 10-year treasury to those comments. how do you feel about that market reaction? do you think since that has happened the market has gotten back to a more point of equilibrium that's of fair value? >> it's probably worth going back to the middle part of the spring when yields started to rise. this was before the chairman's j.e.c. testimony, much less before the fomc in june. and i would think that the overwhelming explanation for that rise would have been some anticipation that things were getting better in the economy. if you will, the good re

they go where there's good opportunities, good salaries, collegial surroundings. i just calledded our main board of nursing the other day and asked how many nurse practitioners set up a shingle by themselves in a rural area? maybe five. that is with one of the most liberal nurse practice acts in the country. we're one of the top 14 states so even if you liberalize your practice acts, that's not sending, i think, you know, waves of clinicians out to rural areas. there's more to it than that. what other things are we doing to shore up primary care in maine? we are grant writers, always have been. we have jumped on whatever foundation and federal moneys we can get. we have a very healthy patient centered medical home system in maine, a hundred practices. we are aiming towards 80 health home practices, behavioral health home practice the funded through medicaid and the aca. we have 14 of the health centers in a payment reform grant from cms, and, ironically, our state, which is not -- has not opted to set up its own exchange, has not opted to expand medicaid, low and

majority leader would noknow it, too, if he spent a little more time working with his colleagues in a collegial way and a little less time trying to undermine an marginalize peevment the real reason is that the far left and big labor are leaning hard on democrats to go nuclear, go nuclear. they love the sound. and the majority leader is about to sacrifice his reputation hershey his reputation -- and this institution to go along with it because what they really want is for the senate to ratify the senate's unconstitutional decision to illegally appoint nominees to the nlrb and the cfpb without the input of the senate. now, they know they can't get that done under current rules. and they know time isn't on their side. the second-highest court in the land ruled unanimously that president obama had no power -- no power -- to do what he did. another court has since concurred, and now the supreme court is set to hear the case in just a few months. they obviously thought it was important enough to be dealt with at the highest court in the land. so this really isn't a fight over nominees at all. it is

it is very collegial and they feel -- they get good tables at restaurants and they have an entourage,y don't really -- they gist sort of think a lot, nothing really happens. >> cramer has been saying how he's getting nervous over the financials and the head wind of regulation. we don't need more regulation, crimping the banks. >> i think in a perfect world for elizabeth warren that banks wok like utilities. they would be semipublic institutions, which would be, you know, i don't know -- no one would ever capital formation would be ground to a stand still in this country. there are regulators that have in idea that too much regulation is a problem. >> let's look at the global markets report now. ross westgate is standing by in london. ross, how is the day over there? >> mandy, well, we're okay going through the last trading day of the week. we had a nice kick from the close of u.s. markets yesterday, this fed through into asia and european trade right now. pretty much at the best levels of the day. nearly 73 advancers outpacing decliners. you see the growth for the best numbers into th

all of this my friend, collegial conversation, doesn't translate into the implementation of actual legislationting things done. republicans will still look at anything coming from the other 1600 pennsylvania avenue as an anath ma and don't want to touch it. harry reid is going to look across the aisle at mitch mcconnell and friends and scoff at their unwillingness to cooperate and work while putting, you know, things on the table that he knows republicans aren't going to go for. >> so -- >> so you still have the poison in the well there. >> where are the glimmers of hope in terms of legislation that bipartisan efforts that will move our country forward. >> none in this but -- >> none in the cycle. >> talk about the glimmers of hope, though -- >> wait a minute, al -- >> immigration. >> 14 republicans -- >> al, we couldn't get gun control done. >> that was awful. >> something everybody agreed on. >> i would -- >> pathetic. >> they can get some things done but that obscures a larger point, the place is dysfunctional. i covered the old senate back when mika was in grade school and i think has a lo

i think i am safe in saying a high level of collegiality on a bipartisan basis is achieved as a result of last night. you can pick at it if you want to. it was an important moment for the senate, coming on the heels of the fact that we did three fairly significant bills this year on a bipartisan basis that were open for amendment. that is pretty extraordinary, in the last couple of years. so put this down as progress in the right direction, and the best possible atmosphere to go into the balance of the year, when we have much tougher issues to deal with down the road. thanks a lot. >> one of the people i have learned to listen to, and listen to closely, is barbara mikulski. we came to the senate together. we served in the house together. here is the advice she gave all of us a few minutes ago. direct quote. colleagues, no quoting -- no gloating. maximum dignity. that is where i am coming from. the final caucus here was very good. we have basically done everything but doubting the -- dotting the i's and crossing the t's to have seven qualified nominees receive a vote for a full-function

this all happened during a midgame ceremony at the collegiate baseball game in chicago. be flown in as an expert but he couldn't be reached. >>> coming up on kill meade & friends, a simulcast with this guy, james rosen, and jana who will reflect back on the concert series here on fox. remember her? >> fantastic. and it kicks off? >> it kicks off at 9:00. that will be great. >>> meanwhile, 20 minutes before the top of the hour. imagine standing on the side of the road waiting for help, when this happens. the crazy crash caught on camera. details coming up. >>> plus senator mike lee threatens to use every procedural mechanism, including a filibuster, to stop obama care. is it just a waste of time or can this really help america? we'll ask him live, coming up next. the great outdoors, and a great deal. grrrr ahhh let's leave the deals to hotels.com. perfect! yep, and no angry bears. up to 30% off. only at hotels.com. happy birthday! it's a painting easel! the tide's coming in! this is my favorite one. it's upside down. oh, sorry. (woman vo) it takes him places he's always w

chairman, i appreciate chairman frelinghuysen's able and collegial leadership throughout this process and efforts to assemble a bill in an inclusive manner in our subcommittee. i also want to say what a pleasure it was to work with him and i wish all subcommittees could work as effectively. i want to thank chairman rogers and ranking member lowey for their efforts to restore a semblance of regular order to this house in consideration of our appropriation bills and i want to thank all the members of our sioux are subker -- of our subcommittee for their thoughtful deliberation in considering the best interests of our nation as they relate to energy and water development and importantly america's nuclear security. i appreciate the dedication, hard work and sound judgment of our committee's staff on both sides of the aisle, on the majority committee staff side, rob blair, ben hammond, lorraine heckenberg, angie geancarlo and on the minority side, tania berk ham, katie haslet, ryan fox, nathan facey and steve foe. while chairman frelling hughes answers efforts are to be -- frelinghuysen's

of exercises, i think people have gone out of their way in general to try to be cooperative and collegial precisely because everybody recognizes the novelty of the undertaking and also just the sheer magnitude of it. >> right. i want to get back to some regulatory questions for a moment. i look down at the clock and i know our time moves fast and we want to talk a bit about monetary policy and this very interesting time the fed is in right now. i wonder, whether you were surprised by the speed and intensity of market reaction to the chairman's press conference on june 19th, particular any in the bond market and the reaction of the 10-year treasury to those comments. how did you feel about that market reaction, and, do you think since that has happened the market has gotten back to a more point of equalibrium that is kind of fair value? >> it is probably worth going back to the middle part of the spring when yields started to rise. this was best chairman's jec testimony, much less before the fomc in june and i would think that the overwhelming explanation for that rise would have been some

absolutely a practice that can occur, but it is a dangerous the sin is a place of a certain amount of collegiality. a certain amount of good judgment in understanding and respect for the body. sometimes, you can carry out a procedure that may be dubious or in the round of accessible procedures. symptoms you can feel and understand that that is a dangerous alteration on the precedent of the senate. that is what i'm afraid of. >> after debating on the senate floor, they spoke to reporters about rules regarding the filibuster. this is about 20 minutes. >> ok. we had a good caucus. a couple of people do not like changing the rules. we have the votes to move forward on this. our position is very clear. we want to break gridlock and make washington work for merrick, especially the middle class. we want to get things done and respond to the challenges faced by america, and the middle class. the first step is to stop blocking the president's nominees. all you had to do was be on the floor today and see the case for us. those nominees took months, and months through tactics before we had a vote on somebody

we talk about the collegial atmosphere that has to exist. you know, if you don't talk nicely to each other it could cause a problem, and i understand that, but we know each other. i shared some very emotional moments with mr. cummings when he lost his nephew. i understand that. mr. lynch and i know each other. listen, it's not about the spin . nobody is losing their due process under this. you know that. you know that. not yet. not yet. not yet. again, refer back to page 8, lines 15 through 17. an employee against whom an action was taken under this section is entitled to appeal to the merits systems protection board under section 7701 of this title. mr. lynch: if the gentleman will yield? mr. kelly: no. we shouldn't be having a conversation that, again, divides the nation and it divides people because we constantly want to make sure that everybody understands that one party is for one type of philosophy, the other party is not. you know, they don't want to take care of everybody. i'm talking about the american taxpayer mere. i'm talking --

i also want to thank my fellow new jersey senator, senator menendez whose collegiality and guidance have been of great assistance to me during my transition. madam president, the senate has long been guided by ancient traditions that have served the institution and the nation well. i trust that in the months and years ahead it will continue to honor the practices that have caused it to be known as the world's greatest deliberative body. i will certainly try to do my part during my time here to honor those traditions and uphold the special and unique place this body holds in our system of governance. thank you, madam president. i yield the floor. mr. cornyn: madam president? the presiding officer: the republican whip. mr. cornyn: madam president, i want to say briefly to our friend, senator chiesa, how much we appreciate his remarks here today. i'm reminded as the author of ecclestiastes points out, time and chance happen to us all. and while he may not be with us a long time here in the senate, i have every confidence, given his tremendous track record of public service and the confidenc

the sin is a place of a certain amount of collegiality. a certain amount of good judgment in understanding and respect for the body. sometimes, you can carry out a that may be dubious or of accessible procedures. symptoms you can feel and understand that that is a dangerous alteration on the president -- precedent of the senate. that is what i'm afraid of. -- weator reed said the will hear from senator reed and other senate democrats on possible filibuster should challenges. >> ok. we had a good caucus. a couple of people do not like changing the rules. we have the roots -- the votes to move forward on this. our position is very clear. gridlock andeak make washington work for merrick, especially the middle class. we want to get things done and respond to the challenges faced by america, and the middle class. the first step is to stop blocking the president's nominees. all you had to do was be on the floor today and see the case for us. those nominees took months, and months through tactics before we had a vote on somebody they agreed with.

look, i think i'm safe in saying, a high level of collegiality on a bipartisan basis was achieved as a result of last night. and you can pick at it if you want to but i think it was an important moment for the senate. coming on the heels of the fact that we did three fairly significant bill this is year, on a bipartisan basis, that were open for amendment, that's pretty extraordinary in the last couple of years. so put this down as progress in the right direction and the best possible atmosphere to go into the balance of the year when we have much tougher issues to deal with down the road. thanks a lot. >> one of the people i've learned to listen to and listen to closely is barbara mikulski. we came to the senate together and served in the house together. here's the advice she gave all of us a few minutes ago. direct quote. colleagues, no gloating, maximum dignity. so that's where i'm coming from. our final caucus here was very good, we have done everything but dotting the i's and crossing the t's, to have seven qualified nominees receive a vote for nlrb. a full functioning nlrb. it
