(I realize that really, this was more of a floor show than a practical measure. I really don't care, at this point. It was the "stand up and talk" kind of filibuster some of us have been begging for, and the principled stand we've been screaming for. It may have been a token gesture rather than an actual solution, but we've been asking "if not now, when?" for long enough that even a token gesture right now feels like a giant leap in the right direction.)
