Not a filibuster, there's not a bill in question or a confirmation on the line. He's just holding the floor. I applaud the effort and certainly the message, I'm just not sure why he's doing it now instead of you know when it counted.

That's really too bad. This sort of effort should be directed at something specific rather than just being performant :(

Unfortunately that seems to be the Democrat playbook these days. Make a lot of noise, but don't suit up for the actual battles that would win the war.
