I was going to post a short piece on the malleability of politicians, but then Cory Booker did this:
Cory Booker breaks a 68-year-old Senate record with a 25-hour speech
Booker’s speech officially surpassed the previous record set in 1957 by noted segregationist Strom Thurmond, who filibustered for 24 hours and 18 minutes to oppose the Civil Rights Act.
I’ll post my story tomorrow. Today, I want to celebrate the fact that we have representatives who will stand up for their people and beliefs, and share their conviction and purpose with us all.
