“I want the Senate to have a schedule for our next session. We should start at 5 p.m. on Tuesday. We will say a prayer and pledge. Then we will approve the journal and get to work. I want to reserve time for the two leaders to talk. We have some business to do. We will vote on a nomination at 6:30 p.m. If we confirm any nominations, I want to table any motions to reconsider. I want to notify the President about what we do.”
