Filibuster Continues: Rain or Shine
Posted by Bob BrighamI just received an on-the-ground report on the Princeton Phenomenon. One of my buddies has arrived in Princeton and is having a blast at the Frist Filibuster.
He says there are 20-25 people, a picnic atmosphere with cookies and soda near the bullhorn-amplified student filibuster.
Any predictions on which school will be the next to join?
UPDATE The students have been getting creative with what they've been reading during the filibuster. I'm told somebody read 3,000 digits of Pi.
UPDATE Congressman Rush Holt has taken the floor and students are using their cell-phones to let Senators listen to his speech!

UPDATE Congressman Rush Holt just finished. Thank him for standing up for the filibuster with the students, drop him a note at:
Mail@rushholt.com
UPDATE Josh Marshall is trying to work something out where people can support the students with pizza, watch Talking Points Memo for details.

Do any other schools have a Frist Center? To me, that little details helped make this the perfect bit of political theater.

Why yes, Belmont University in Nashville has a Frist Center.
