      - Central -- nm - mara Jun 25, 20:06
      - Midnight Central time, so under 2 hours to go. The US Congress should take note that this is how a filibuster *should* work. -- nm - TWuG Jun 25, 20:05 4
        
        And she has to stay on topic, which is more than Jimmy Stewart had to do! -- nm - mara Jun 25, 20:07
