SueRae: I haven't seen anyone else for a while. If they are still there, why aren't they stepping in?

They are supporting Paul, in that they have promised to yield back the floor to him...technically Paul has NOT yielded the floor..rather, he is allowing them to ask "questions" or make comments..these can go on for as long as each senator chooses..this gives Paul time for a drink..rest his voice..not sure about leaving the floor for a bathroom break..I believe, ( though not sure) that under the new rules the senator MUST remain on the floor; if another one want to join in..then Paul can yield the floor to him, and leave..to have it yielded back to him later..

I agree! If he has the stamina to filibuster with substance, the very, very least I can do is support him by watching and praying.

Aside from that, I am riveted, and a drone over my house or a swat team breaking down my door couldn't tear me away from listening to this courageous act of "subversive" free speech.

They ought to take it at four-hour increments for him, so he can get some sleep.
