Do you think Paul thought that far ahead? I hope so. I haven’t seen him drink any liquids in 7 hrs.
I was just hoping someone would bring him a bucket, takeover and let him slip into a corner.
I don’t know much about filibusters, but if Ken5050 is correct (post 169), not leaving the floor during a filibuster is new.
The Senate has apparently changed the filibuster rules again.
Old days, a filibuster continued until the speaker relinquished the floor.
A few years ago, when Frist was majority leader (IIRC), they allowed filibusters to take place in 2-hour sessions. The speaker could stop after 2 hours and be allowed to continue at a later time.
