18. Will Thune comply with "Speaking Filibuster" demand?

Sunday

And do they even have 50 votes + Vance for SAVE?

With a speaking filibuster if each opponent of the bill speaks for at least 12 hours, that only gets you 80 days or so (Thune can recess instead of adjourning to keep the same legislative day, and a Senator can only speak twice on the same "day"

If Thune does, the felon may regret it as the filibuster generates daily news with best bits going viral and endless speculation on how long they can go -- with highly motivated and fit Senators vying to break Bookers record.
