A black-and-white still from Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939) featuring James Stewart as Jefferson Smith during his famous filibuster scene. Stewart, portraying the idealistic young senator, stands in the U.S. Senate chamber, exhausted but determined, with his tie loosened and collar unbuttoned. He holds a stack a book in one hand while gesturing passionately with the other. The grand architecture of the chamber, along with seated and standing onlookers in the background, emphasizes the gravity of the moment. A glass of water and scattered documents rest on the desk before him.

Forget all this cloture talk, I want a good old fashioned filibuster. They could start by reading the names of all the illegally fired federal employees, or given the CR's DC language, the DC phone book.
