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

he's not letting the Senate do anything at all

I really need you to think about what you're saying here: What would the senate be doing if he wasn't speaking, and will that now not happen as a result of his speaking? Delaying things by a day or three doesn't mean anything if they still happen.

Maybe if we said "good job do more of this" in a day or three or every day they would do something like this?
