It’s nice to see the senate opposition functioning.

Edit: 18 hours of holding the senate floor, giving voice to the american people. Lots of tears as american suffering is read out loud for the congressional record. Testiment from Americans across the country. This is the voice of the people. Please click the link, share and watch. The media needs to know we care about the opposition more than we care about trump rambling on a plane about fort knox.

      What does saying it’s not a filibuster do anyway? What makes that a worthwhile statement? Besides being false it’s gaslighting basic civic knowledge and opposition to authority.

      The statement is just here to be disingenuous and keep interest away from the fact that someones doing something useful finally. A political strategy of opposition is born. Check it out! maybe someone filibusters after he steps down, and it continues for weeks.

      It is a filibuster, a filibuster is just a long speech that prevents the senate from proceeding to its next activity. They are filibustering all bills that republicans are working on. all nominations.

        legally, though, it’s not a filibuster, because filibusters can be ended by the senate and long-ass speeches can’t be :9

          I love loopholes. So what you’re saying is it’s better than a filibuster because it can’t be shut down. So this is a positive trend where we can just hold the senate floor and read out letters from American citizens instead of voting to legalize trumps insanity?
