| 1. Unrec for unfair commentary and bashing. |
|
He's filibustering about everything, the tax stuff is about 1% of what he's talking about.

| 9. how does the filibuster work? |
|
Can he take breaks?
Can other senators also speak in support?
Are there time limits?
He is doing a stunning job, just laying out the facts for all to hear. It's quite incredible.
This man is a national treasure. I love him!

| 10. Calling this a "filibuster" is a stretch; he's making a long speech |
|
Edited on Fri Dec-10-10 12:01 PM by Recursion
But in most circumstances, a Senator who has the floor can keep it as long as he stays up there and stays talking. "Filibuster" as the term is usually used today means the minority party refuses to vote to end debate, so that legislation can't be brought to the floor for consideration. It's actually only vaguely related to the Strom Thurmond "stand up and talk for as long as possible" stunt.

| 22. When is the vote scheduled? |
|
If it isn't today then this isn't really a filibuster is it?
I hope they don't have the 60 votes or Bernie will put one of those 'holds' on the vote, that is all that will stop this from happening.
