Rand Paul is a Rock Star!!!
AAllen:
I will note that these can go on for days, I believe the longest on record was almost 2 months. Senators will rotate so they can attend other matters,hearings, meeting with constituents, sleep, eat etc. The new way these go is they actually end the day and basically the filibuster continues, even though they handle other business, until either the session ends or there are enough votes to break it then it is brought back up.
