[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 4826548, member: 24302"] You are right, and I was wrong. It takes 60 votes to end the filibuster, not pass the bill. And if you can't get the 60 votes needed then the bill won't be voted on. As for long speeches in 1986 they limited each Senator to one hour speeches. So it's a tag team effort, not a Mr.Smith Goes to Washington one man marathon. [/QUOTE]
