I wonder if Grand Kleagle Byrd, dean of the Senate, would like to read this during one of his filibustering moments, perhaps between tales of his wife and dog (presumably not one and the same) and more "pretty, pretty, pretty" speeches, for which he is infamous.

The most famous filibuster of all time was the pro-segregation filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which went on for 74 days.

"Sheets" Byrd was one of the Senators who filibustered the Civil Rights Act of 1964, wasn't he? Too bad Mr. Calabresi didn't mention this in his statement.
