A Moral Moment...

If he continues, Booker could challenge the all-time record for the longest Senate speech. That title currently belongs to the late Senator Strom Thurmond, who spoke for 24 hours and 18 minutes in 1957 in opposition to the Civil Rights Act. To be Thurmond’s time, Booker would have to speak until about 7:30 PM EST tonight. Booker’s speech is already among the longest in modern Senate history and is drawing national attention for its endurance and disruption.
