the chamber and speak until you drop, thus ending the filibuster.

People like Ted Cruz love to announce they are going to filibuster and then go home to have fun.

I think those old white republican men and the not so old republican men and women just want to fill out the paperwork and be done with it. But if they really believe in the truth of their position they should be willing to stand there and speak to it or retire.

But they are lazy, don’t care, and wouldn’t know how.
