Cory Booker has been filibustering for a while, but there's no legislation that he's stalling.

The problem is if he did this during legislation to do an official filabuster 60 votes could vote him down and the progressive wing of the fascist party would join with the GOP to vote him down

By doing so no he's giving a "Speech" and there for can't be voted down and is wasting time
