Published | Video Starts at 06:38

Yet here on the Senate floor, Senate Democrats are stonewalling their consideration. And Mr. President, There's still more than 800 nominees and nominations and positions in our government that still need to be filled. So this week, Senate Republicans are going to restore these long standing traditions of the Senate to get back to the way the Senate is supposed to work. (06:38–06:45)
