“I wish they would filibuster and read it. However...
‘At 200 words per minute, the Obamacare Regulations would take 180 hours to read. That’s seven and a half days of non-stop reading; it’s four and a half 40-hour business weeks.’

He’s going to need some helpers!”

The longest filibuster by a lone Senator went to Strum Thurmond, but evidently a team of Senators were able to filibuster for 57 days. They can read the bill 8 times and break the record!

“Thurmond was not the only lawmaker to filibuster on the issue, however. According to Senate records, teams of senators consumed 57 days filibustering between March 26 and June 19, the day the Civil Rights Act of 1957 passed.”
