Cornyn objects to passing 3 month extension of unemployment insurance extension
Senator Reed (RI) asked unanimous consent the Senate take up and pass Calendar #265, S. 1845, a bill to extend unemployment insurance benefits for 3 months.
Senator Cornyn asked that the request be modified that that all pending cloture motions on Executive nominations be withdrawn, and that the Senate proceed to the immediate consideration of S.1845, and that the Majority Leader and Minority Leader be recognized to offer amendments in an alternating fashion.
Senator Reed declined to modify his request and Senator Cornyn objected to the original request.
