HUME: Well, Senator, that may be so, but the majority can control what is on the Senate floor at any given moment and how long the Senate stays in session day after day or whether overnight or not.
And there is a difference between an old-fashioned filibuster, an exhausting affair that is difficult for the filibusters to wage, and the more genteel kinds of filibusters that have been conducted in recent years, where you just go on to other things between cloture votes. Which is it going to be?

Thanks for the ping!
The guys in the white hats are going to stand firm, but need continued support behind them, so keep going with those phone calls and faxes and e-mails and letters to your senators, folks!
Have a great day, all.
