"Make them talk talk talk. Let them go for 14 days straight.."

Amen! It is all good. It preserves the constitution; it raises C-Spans ratings, it will make the press, it is the way to go.

What DO the pubbies fear, that they haven't done this already? Or is it, as I've surmised; just old boy laziness?

They're just friggin' lazy!

A real filibuster would have the effect of tying up the entire Republican delegation in chambers (or close enough to cast a surpise cloture vote) for the duration of the filibuster, sleeping in offices, etc. while only a single Dem senator need be present.

I would love to see the resultant publicity, though. Could be fun. And, perhaps it is not such a bad idea to keep our lawmakers from doing anything :)
