Does this have to go through the weekend?

Somebody PLEASE tell me. I'm dying to know.

Now, let's see who shows up to help.

The republicans did a rolling filibuster in 1993 but the rules may have been changed since (and possibly as a result).

I thought you could simply invoke Filibuster and go home and sleep. At least that how it was, with DEM, when Bush was President

An article on Drudge says that he can only do this until tomorrow at noon due to Senate rules.
