Filibustering

I think someone asked about the longest filibuster in class, so here's the answer: the record for a filibuster is 24 hours and 18 minutes, set in 1957 by South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond. If anyone has a LOT of time to kill, you can read the transcript in the Congressional Record, Volume 105.

Professor Pitney, if one of us tops this, does he or she retroactively get an A in your class??
