I'm not an expert on Senate rules but this seems like a strange thing to do. If the Dems were serious on gridlocking the Senate they should not be providing unanimous consent on things like adjourning and all the other procedural points of order. But that would require them to do things like not go on book tours. I was under the impression that you could silent filibuster for 36 hours on every point of order or w/e the correct term is.
Yeah - but then there's no video to be used for campaigning of a dem "standing up to Trump". :(
