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.
To be fair, filibuster has two meanings: this, and the other definition being an individual or small group of individuals, acting indepedently, taking over territory of another state in the name of their country. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filibuster_(military)?wprov=sfla1
Yes yes. English is hard. Words have 10 meanings and we also use idioms to really make it confusing.
Thats not the meeting we’re discussing since its a senator obstructing a legislative body via a long speech which is procedurally allowed.
