The Fusion team tries to follow the rules of a Texas filibuster for one really long day.

While the longest filibuster to date was done by US Senator Strom Thurman and lasted over 24 hours, 13 hours is nothing to sneeze at. In order to pay tribute to State Senator Davis' accomplishment, we here at Fusion decided to take the Stand Like Wendy Challenge.
