The one thing about the talking filibuster, and it hasn't been used in
something like a hundred years people point to the civil rights act of nineteen sixty four that it actually was done in a regular order they invoke cloture passed it that way uh... but you turn control of the floor over to the democrats it's not only unlimited debate it's unlimited amendments and the democrats will have a long list of amendments and so every time they get an amendment get it considered gets disposed of the clock resets every democrat can give two hours of speeches so that's forty seven or
times two, 94 hours of speeches.
And then every time you have a vote on an amendment, you go back, start all over again.
So the Democrats, this is something that they're salivating over the opportunity to have is a talking filibuster.
So that isn't the best path in my view.
And frankly, I don't think we probably have the votes in the Senate among Republicans even to get on a talking filibuster.
But I do think we have a possibility through budget reconciliation to get some of this done.
We could pull that budget resolution passed by the House and use it to fund government.
