re: #24 cineaste

Yes, and I think that the Democrats should have forced the Republicans to filibuster. Let them stand on the floor, day and night, and read the phonebook while these men are dying. Let them stand there on Christmas Day and New Years Eve, don’t remove the vote until it gets an up or down vote. But the Democrats want to go home too…

You can’t force someone to do that though.

That’s what the gentlmen’s filibuster is.

They say they’re going to do it, and then they don’t have to do anything they can just sit there and flash smug shit eating grins at you.
