A real filibuster would be difficult to do thanks to Senate rules, calendar days etc.

Change all that, and it could work.

And unless I am mistaken, the problem would be for us: i.e., we'd have to keep at least 51 senators ON the floor at all times and they'd only have to have one there doing the talking for them.

Am I wrong about that?
