Rand Paul actually did it yesterday. He filibustered the nomination of CIA chief John Brennan for almost 13 hours. I flipped around the cable news networks last night to see how this was playing, and it was getting universal praise from the left and right, although not necessarily on the substance of the debate.
It was just nice to see someone doing a filibuster the way it was intended to be done.
I still don't understand why they don't change the rules back to make it necessary to do it this way.
