“An all night speech”? Rush noticed that no one is calling it a Filibuster.
Cspan informed viewers last night, in their scroll line, of the difference between filibuster and a “speech”.
It makes no difference, in practice, what we call it when measured by impact - and this had impact.
A shame isn’t it when simply representing the people’s voice and their grave concerns becomes in this totalitarian government, an act of “heroism”. Scary, really.
If it was a filibuster it would still be going.
Technically, it wasn’t a filibuster because Dingy Harry said it wasn’t.
Like Lola, whatever Dingy wants, Dingy gets; at least from the MSM.
I guess “technically” it was not a filibuster, because he was not holding the floor to prevent a vote.
Cruz’s purpose was to shame RINOs into voting No on the coming Cloture Vote to prevent the RINOs from symbolically voting no after they vote Yes on Cloture which then will allow dems to get past a 60 vote Cloture and kill the nobamacare defund with 51 pure dem votes. Only a bunch of people being paid by the word (lawyers) could dream up such a double backflip procedure.
