This is a very interesting account of an actual flilibuster in the US Senate
By actual filibuster, i mean the minority had to keep the floor and exercise their actual Constitutional Right to “Unlimited Debate.”

It’s also funny that some of the players are still around, but on the other side of the argument.
Always great to see a mention of Dale Bumpers, who may have the best-titled autobiography of all time, let alone the Senate: Best Lawyer in a One Lawyer Town
