I like you Senator Coburn, but please don’t make us promises that you guys aren’t going to keep.

Any senator can start a filibuster. It takes 60 votes to end it. Coburn could do this on his own.

They don't even do the real filibusters like they used to do in the old days with the senator talking for hours and hours on end.

Any suggestion of a possible filibuster is totally and utterly without meaning today unless he has the votes to back him up on it.
