Cornyn: Democrats Have Given Up Legislating

I responded on the Senate floor to the agenda unveiled today by Senate Democrats amid concern they could lose their majority in November.

To put it in a word, theyve given up. Theyve given up legislating and are going to spend the next several months holding a series of show votes, which are in essence those designed to highlight poll-tested messages. I would think the American people would expect and certainly they would deserve better than that from the United States Senate.

What we need is a Senate and a Congress that is more focused on creating an economic condition where the American people can find jobs, rather than politicians [who] are focused solely on saving their jobs.
