I could be wrong but the point is it’s not part of interrupting a vote or even coming close to disrupting anything. It’s basically like hanging out in the senate building and talking for a while but making sure to do it in a way to not bother anyone or do anything of consequence but to show how much you “care” (enough to not make a scene to disrupt anything real).
Also if this is the “something” that the most powerful members of the liberal party can do. lol. Lmao even
If he was doing a legitimate filibuster he could be voted down (and would be voted down by the Dems) doing it this way no one can stop him, he's disrupting the whole Senate unilaterally
Well I think you misunderstand the point of the post. The point is that Corey knows where and when the congressional baseball games take place but refuses to take a swing ⚾️
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
