You know Vitter could be a filibustering machine

[Strawman]

with those diapers he wears and all. They call the preparations Senators take to empty their bladders before filibustering "putting on the diaper." Vitter could go for a long time and not have to worry about any of that.

1. there's no more filibusters like that...

they just don't get 60 votes - voila! It's filibustered.

[Strawman]

2. yeah. they're "procedural filibusters." But can't the filibuster opponents still force them to do it

[beyurslf]

3. Yeah. They technically have to keep someone there all the time to filibuster.

They just don't make them stand up and talk the whole time as long as the minority has someone available to talk. I personally would love to see the real filibuster again.
