Cory Booker has been filibustering for a while, but there’s no legislation that he’s stalling.

    His aides set up a bucket in the cloakroom so he could keep a foot on the Senate floor if he needed to relieve himself.

    this is the kind of pointless rituals that you read about in stories of weird kings courts. “Nooo my foot hasnt crossed this line yet, so I can continue talking and while I am talking this law thats gonna affect over 100 million people cannot get voted on and if I am annoying enough the opposition is going to drop it!!” - a very serious legislative body

    If there isnt even a law being filibustered I guess it’s finally crossed the threshold into simulacrum
