“If the Democrats threaten a filibuster, make them do it.”
REAL filibuster. 24/7, no potty breaks filibuster.
Alphonse D’Amato 28 hour reading from the phone book filibuster.
None of this 9-to-5, let’s pick this up tomorrow nonsense.
Yes, make them do it. Let America get a good look at the Democrat party.
NO breaks, pee bags, 24/7 until they see themselves in a mirror.
During the 1930s, Senator Huey P. Long effectively used the filibuster against bills that he thought favored the rich over the poor. The Louisiana senator frustrated his colleagues while entertaining spectators with his recitations of Shakespeare and his reading of recipes for “pot-likkers.” Long once held the Senate floor for 15 hours.
The record for the longest individual speech goes to South Carolina’s J. Strom Thurmond who filibustered for 24 hours and 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
America needs serious men and these dram queens want to strut and fret their idiotic egos using the floor of the senate.
Let them, but if they insist on it make them do it.
A “Mr Smith Goes to Washington” kind of filibuster. I’m on board wth that.
