There have been several interesting filibusters in Senate history, not all of them attributable to liberals. Strom Thurmond holds the record for a one-man filibuster against a civil rights bill. Some filibusters have been important and had some moral force; e.g. George Norris's filibuster against Wilson's proposal to mount artillary on passenger steamships on the brink of WW1.
