Hes going to break the longest filibuster record at 24+ hours so does it matter when he started?
It's such a simple concept, everyones got an opinion without taking the time to think that a filibuster is just preventing anyone else from using the Senate floor. It generates headlines, 24 hours of bitching. if cable news isn't playing this you need to share with your family and friends.
The whole point of this is prevent the government from passing laws, and airing the grievances of america.
Its truly inspirational, try watching instead of criticizing, then come back and say something related to the filibuster?

HOW IS THIS NOT A FILIBUSTER HOW IS THIS NOT A FILIBUSTER HOW IS THIS NOT A FILIBUSTER???????
I think the argument I'm entertaining is that there is already not much business going on at 3AM.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad one of our leaders is showing a little spine, but he could afford to be a little more tactical about it.
My guy he has been speaking from 7 PM last night to 2PM today. He's going to set the record for longest filibuster. I'm filled with hope and emotion listening to his words. He can barely stand after 19 hours on his feet and he's still PLEADING FOR US.
What are you talking about? Thats a full day of the legislature. There are only like 500 days left in the term. LETS GOOOOOOOO
Good on him, then.
Honestly, even if I don't understand why he did it that way, he's at least doing something.
Ya man, if you click the link you will see a man sacraficing his body for our voice. You'll hear your own voice and your own suffering. Our concerns, our dreams.
