"Just now on the Senate floor, I voted against the Tax Treaty with Luxembourg, but it was not a reflection on the merits of the proposed protocol."

"It reflects my frustration with a process that has the Senate considering this matter 10 years after it was signed and nearly 9 years after then-Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton transmitted it to the United States Senate for action."

"This is not an example of due diligence but rather unnecessary & embarrassing delay.

Scheduling this & other tax treaties for floor votes was also unwarranted and I'm afraid it is part of Sen. McConnell's attempt to divert the Senate from matters of significance to Americans."
