This is great. The Repubs are scrambling and squirming. Never too late to take a stand. I have a lot of respect for these people.
They plan to sit all night.

Most of these people aren't exactly spring chickens. Hope they hold up ok.
When I was in college a group of us took over the president's office. When students needed breaks, they climbed out the windows and waiting students climbed inside to take their places. Lol. I am giving away my age.
