Re: Filibuster
mc cain would have been gone many years ago if I had a vote in Arizona. I respect his service and sacrifice during his military commitment to the country, but I have had very little respect for him as a political leader of the country.

Re: Filibuster
just short of 13 hours, and Cruz was there to the end. We have a lot to be proud of, and a great deal of hope for the (a) future.

Re: Filibuster
I don't know what the timeline is in order to block the vote.... that's the "reason" for the filibuster. I think the actual "goal" of the filibuster has been achieved.... to send a message, loud and clear. The vote will most likely still be held, but a whole lot of ground has been covered in this filibuster that can't be ignored.

Re: Filibuster
Paul, et al, have talked about nothing but Constitutional issues during this event... at least in the couple hours (in small blocks of time all day) I have gone into the house to check. The last filibuster I witnessed on C-Span was led by none other than the late great KKKWizard Sen. Robert Byrd blathering about his "little dog Billy", while trying his best to appear to be sane.

Re: Filibuster
so far, it's been a college level course on the Constitution... I'm loving it.
