Make them do a real filibuster.

After careful research. I have concluded that a real filubuster would last between 6 and 48 hours with approximately 24 hours being the most likely.

That would be the time it would take for Ted Kennedy to go into alcohol withdrawl seizures.

Alcohol-withdrawal seizures — Seizures may occur 6 to 48 hours after the last drink, and it is common for several seizures to occur over several hours. The risk peaks at 24 hours.

The Senate rules were changed essentially eliminating the "real" filibuster.
